I'm using a Rod Bower Filter since 120h now. The systems works= very well.
I used to start with an older design and upgraded to a= bigger flapper valve and 
bigger holes for filtered air inta= ke. The pictures are made before the upgrade.
I actually use a Lyc= oming IO-390. The aluminum intake ring in the cowling is also 
available from Rod.
The difference from filtered to ram air is a= bout 1.2" in cruise and you really feel
a difference when you open= the valve.
There is some very fine dirt sticking on the inside of= the fuel meter intake from the 
unfiltered ramair use. But I= don't think this will harm the engine...
When the valve is closed= the engine will get warm filtered air from inside the cowling.
As= soon as I'm airborn I open the ramair valve.
I'm happy with the s= ystem!
