I was wondering if it was worth putting one of those on there. I'm going to eventually have a shelby style scope on my hood and figured it might help to have the top of the filter open with the filter?

Click to expand...

I used one for a while, I took it off with about 500 miles on it.
I'll sell it to you for 60% retail plus shipping - I paid $65 so that would be about $40 then.

I have a very tight fit and I wanted to run a small spacer under the carb and found out that with the right combination of drop base, filter height, and lids I could get it all to fit....and the K&N didn't fit because of its design.

i´ve changed from the classical aftermarket "Hi-Po 289" chrom filter to the K&N XStream and i think it´s worth the money. Especially when you have cool air from a scoop it should even be better. Just my personal opinion.

I have the first gen and it works great. Thought I will say you can hear the sucking sound more prounounced now. The cold air scoop will definately help with this combination.
