Dropping in a few days....RAMAIR panel filters at whoosh motorsports!

Hey Ron,

What are the cleaning instructions for these things? Just want to save it for later when needed. Do they need to be oiled?

The filters are in fact DRY
Per RAMAIR's instructions
They are to be used dry for normal road conditions

If you are using the filter in extreme conditions, you may lightly oil the foam with any good filter oil to aid in filtration

No compressed air.

I just received and installed my RamAir filter yesterday and I'm very impressed so far. When i first opened the package, I noticed the "RamAir" logo (which was painted white) was very sticky, like it wasn't all the way dry or something. I just figured "well maybe it will just catch that much more dirt and such."
For those of you wondering about noise, I was very pleased about the amount of turbo "whistling" I gained (mostly with the windows down) and the diverter valve was muuuch more present. Judging by the sheer size of the stock air filter, it made sense that it was used as further sound suppressing. If you are on the fence about buying this filter, do it. If you want to keep your stock airbox-type set up, buy it. Even if you plan on upgrading your stock set up, I have to believe this is the way to go. I've always used an oil-type filter in the past but i'm now a believer of the foam style. When I replace the pipe and the bottom half of the air box, I'm hoping to get a little more induction noise (I want it to sound like a turbo car without being obnoxious) and I'm very happy so far with my set up.
I also wanna give a big thanks & shout out to Ron @ Whoosh Motorsports. Very nice guy and hope to do more business with him and hope other FiSt owners do too!

No problem Ron, Its a fantastic filter... and if you ever get the question about sound, just let them know it has a little more induction noise and you can hear that diverter valve alot more. Its really nice, especially with the windows down.

I must really have like 1/4 (or less) the hearing left as compared to others on here, for I cannot for the life of me hear ANY more noise with this filter whatsoever, under any circumstances, but that is NOT why I bought this filter, so NO problem for me.
(I want/like the uninformed to think that this car IS NA, and is as quick as it is without boost! )

I really did my best to make sure to test the car before and after the install. Mind you, I only have 600 miles on the car, which shouldn't make much difference but i did notice an immediate change in sound. The diverter valve was the biggest difference for me. I honestly didn't believe it would make that much difference (I want people to understand that this wasn't like installing a BOV or something) but with the windows down, now it actually sounds like it has a snail bolted on this thing.

I wanted to order one to be my first mod on my 2 week old FiST, do you have the 5% off and both decals still Ron?

Ron, how would these Ram foam filters do in the MP215 airbox as an alternative to the oiled K&N or Green ones it comes with, or the OEM paper one I'd be more likely to use with the MP215 than the oiled ones, which I don't like.

I think you would like the foam filter a lot
I've been using the foam panel in the ST200 box (same exact thing as your MP215) and now foam ITG in the fender well included with the Maxogen kit.
I agree the oiled paper is not my thing either.
I'd give it a try. Most likely the last filter you'll need to buy for your Fiesta unless you change your intake set up.
