Richard is an unknown quantity at this point
Like I say. I'm not an expert, just a tinkerer. I'm an electrical engineer not a mechanical one. Just looking around at some of designs coming out for other aircraft and noticed they have alot more surface area. Researched some of the formulas that car manuf. are using for their filters and this is what I came up with. Don't know if it's correct or not. Glad someone knows more than me.

Equations say the engines need 52 (approx) sq inches of surface area. Maybe with all the pleets and such their is that much area. I just didn't dare cut the thing open to find out. Those things are expensive now a days.
