    Okay, retesting the three ~50CFM fans on the radiator now...Yate Loon and Slip Stream haven't changed at all, but the P12 is now doing 36.6CFM pull (26.7% loss) and 40.8CFM in push.

    Moves it ahead of the Slip Stream @ 34.65CFM, but still behind the D12SL-12 @ 38.78CFM.

    No clue why the P12 was bad (@ 33CFM) before--it doesn't seem to be a finicky fan and nothing has changed in my environment, not even temperature. No clue what happened

    Graphs updated.

    Vapor, it would be a lot better to group the graphs by the fans, not the filters, IMHO. We could see the results a lot better.
    Like this:
    Fan1(open)/Fan1(wire grill)/Fan1(some filter)------Fan2(open)/Fan2(wire grill)/Fan2(some filter)

    Also I was really surprised by how much restriction a wire grill has. I was expecting almost the same performance as open gap
