I have been having quite the time trying to get non-stock air filters to fit inside the engine bay. The 4,5,6 side has no issues, but the 1,2,3 is hitting the trunk lip. I have cut some of the seal away (smh new seal) to get it to fit. I just ordered what I thought were a new set of k&N for $220 only to find out it was one. This setup is a little slimmer than the aluminum K&N by about a 1/4 inch. So it might work, I just hate dropping $440 on a set of pods when I have a set of pods.
What are most doing for this? I saw ITG has a pair for under $400, but they look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I don't even know how rain hats would even fit, but I'm sure I have seen some. I know Ben is running clear plastic tops which look to fit just under the lip. I am running the mad dog OEM mount. My carbs sit a little taller due to phelonic spacers. Are people running a slimmer profile filter? Edit: Running Zeniths |

Thanks Tony, sent you an email requesting a pic of the 1,2,3 side, like I have in my previous post.

Thanks Tony, sent you an email requesting a pic of the 1,2,3 side, like I have in my previous post. Pics sent via email Nick. Let me know if you need more detail, angles, etc. Comparing to your posted pic (above), I think the forward/aft placement is about the same, just your carbs/filter sits about 1/2" higher than mine. I can comfortably get the rain hats and filters on and off without fuss. Depending on the motor mount you chose (I have a Maddogs item), you may be able to machine up a shim to sit between the chassis mount and the engine mount to lower the motor slightly. Just need to watch clearance on the shift linkage as the motor is lower, - Tony |
