Anyone add an Airsep to a FL 135 or any other engine? Did it perform as advertised? Thanks

Do you have a "misting" problem?? If not, then I don't think it is worth it.
No misting problem but noise reduction would be nice.
I would fine it hard to believe that an Airsep would be much help with the noise from a Lehman.
Vibration transmission seems to be more of a factor in the vast majority of installations I've come across.
One function is supposed to be that it creates negative pressure in the sump thereby reducing oil leaks. Put one on our four cylinder Perkins on our sailboat and it was a total waste of money.
My purpose would be to help reduce noise. If it doesn't provide a significant reduction, then I would rather put the money into better sound proofing.

Ha! I'm convinced that the only way to stop oil leaks on a Perkins is to shut it down. Now I'm kinda fond of my "Perkins patina". :
Makes it easier to slide in and out of the engine room.

Ummmm - whats an airsep and what does it do (or not)?
If you have turbos, a bigger air filter with more surface area can cut down on some of the turbo whine. Just remember, when you hear them, they are not working... Under load, a turbo operates far above our ear's audible range.
