    When it comes time to service the air filter all that you have to do is remove and replace the fender; brilliant. And you can only drive when it’s not raining - the cone filter will become soaked in no time.

    I wondered why I never saw anyone do this before. Replacing the filter seems like a pain but if it was RACECAR you could just hack up the quarter panel a bit and put a custom cover over it after.

    thats a good idea so you dont get all that hot air from the engine bay, but that flexible tube is terrible for airflow. On mine i made an enclosure and the filter sits right against the firewall with a very short conection to the throttle body. That enclosure is then conected to custom stainless pipe that goes to the sidevent.

    Dude soo much work for the same result..you all ready had the ram air effect due to the stock ducting..I would just build some kind of shielding at the back of the filter at the location you had it..although testing new things is part of evolution..so keep testing 👍

    I’ll be worried about getting it super wet and hydro locking the engine… IF there’s a ton of water coming through the side vent .. but that can be remedied with a deflector added behind/inside the vent to divert the air/water around the filter but still allow air to enter the area..! AND get rid of the accordion style pipe it’s bad for flow

      Every car is different… on some cars it doesn’t make a difference over a high flow panel filter like a K&N…. BUT on some cars there’s been dyno proof of a 10-20hp increase….
      Just check the car you’re modding and worse case it’s a great sounding effect!

      I assume you're talking about fitting with your specific setup or do you mean fit in general? I assumed that it might throw off the air ratio. Does your setup has the same diameter of the old system to keep the ratio similar or are you tuning it to make up the difference?
