Where and how do you get the "on sale price" I looked on the deals forum and no info there other than the standard %5. Please advise.

WIX makss a 1000cfm 14x4 air filter:

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wix-46944r

The standard WIX 14x4 is only good for 600cfm

f you didn't know...now you know.

For the 16" filter guys:

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wix-46941r?rrec=true


"
We offer two very different and distinct racing filter lines. For maximum flow and horsepower the lowest restriction pure racing media filters are recommended – oil (T-10) and air (T-66). However, when endurance and better engine protection are needed, WIX’s high efficiency endurance media filters are the correct choice – oil (T-71) and air (T-88)."

The supply chain has been so screwed up the past 3 years, you don't know what you are getting until you open the box and try to identify it.

Wix has repackaged filters made by others when they couldn't produce their own, had stuff made overseas, etc. I see premium filters from all over the world, including China.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

just looked at the three i have left on the shelf, and they say "made in Gastonia, NC.", so that makes me happy.
i bought my last batch from the "group buy" here.
