Here is a pic of my $10 air cleaner. I already had the rubber seal and K&N lid. It doesn't line up perfectly with the upper plenum but close enough. View attachment 427124 View attachment 427126
1. Correct, in fact the snorkel is blocked off from inside the air cleaner.
2. The door do, or would work if I hooked vaccum lines to them. I prefer to run it like this because without vaccum the doors stay open. Eventually I'm going to run dummy vaccum lines to complete the look.
3. I got it from Laurel Mountain along with the rest of the ram air set up. The seal just lays on top of the air cleaner and is held down with the contact from the plenum when the hood is closed.
The engine runs so much better with the 1" spacer I don't think I'm going to put the correct air cleaner back on except for show and shines.
