 Will the Scotty
Air system benefit my truck? |
The Scotty Air System is
designed for the working truck in mind - if you have done some power
upgrades to your truck and use it to haul a heavy load, or for racing. The
Scotty Air System will help your truck deliver its available power
more readily by reducing the exhaust gas temperatures or keeping them in a
safe range while working the engine. Stock trucks may or may not
see benefits from the Scotty Air System.
|
| Besides reduced
exhaust gas temperatures, what else can I expect? |
Several individuals have reported
better throttle response, better mileage, and virtual elimination of the
‘seepage’ of dirt like with the factory air box, due to the superior seal
of the Scotty Air System.
|
| Will the Scotty
Air System alter the sound in the cab of my truck? |
Yes, the sound will change. The
Scotty Air System is optimizing the air intake of your Cummins
engine by taking air from the positive air pressure area below the
windshield. You will know it is working effectively under load by the
increase in air intake noise. A very small percentage of individuals have
sensitive hearing to certain pitches of sound; caution is advised if this
is your situation. Like many alterations and changes done to any vehicle,
operating characteristics and sound changes will happen.
|
| Are there any
other filters besides the K&N RE:0880 filter available for this
application? |
Yes. Besides the K&N RE:0880
you now can use the AFE
#20-40044 with internal velocity stack. Testing has shown that the AFE
filter is giving another 50F reduction in exhaust gas temperatures.
|
| Is the K&N
filter safe on my Cummins engine? |
Yes it is. So far anyone that has
reported their oil analysis to us has noted that the silicon (dirt) levels
are very low even on highly modified engines.
|
| What about
getting snow or rain inside the engine with this application?
|
Several tests have been conducted.
A pressure wash spray nozzle was held at the base of the windshield
forcing high pressure water at the Scotty Air System. No measurable
amounts of moisture were found and no damage was sustained from this test.
Not many people aim a high pressure spray of water at their air intake
system while the engine is running no matter what the condition - we did,
and the result was excellent. The Scotty Air System proved to be
well protected from rain in its position.
With the Scotty
Air System, you can still start your truck safely while the air
intakes are covered with snow. A provision was taken into consideration at
the end of the Scotty Air System nearest the turbo inlet. It has a
small space around the air intake here to allow some air to pass while you
get the snow off your vehicle.
|
| Will altering
the Scotty Air System help make it more effective or efficient?
|
No. Many variations of the
Scotty Air System were tried and tested by our research and
development team. Even the slightest deviation from the rigid
specifications showed diminished performance. Caution: do
not seal off the end nearest the turbo inlet hose in attempt to
capture more cooler ambient air from the induction point. Air filter
collapse can and will occur. Any alterations or changes made to the
Scotty Air System will void any and all warranties.

| Do I need any
special tools to install the Scotty Air System? |
You need a 4˝” hole saw to cut the
hole in the cowl, and a 5/16" wrench or socket or a flathead screwdriver
to loosen and tighten the clamps. It is imperative to have the
correct size hole saw.

fits very snug. Take your time and line it up properly. Be sure the filter
is centered and seated in the ‘steps’ near the tapered air intake end of
the cylinder.
