Absolutely not. If you like it, that's all the reason you need. So what if some guy you don't know hates it!

on a street machine.....not so much...please refer to Matt's answer.

I kinda tend to agree with that comment. And damn, to hear who's fingers it was typed from!!!! Ok, so it's not much of a surprise. But I do agree with it. Are you going for performance or looks? I guess if you'd want to spend the money on it and make it look like a fake plenum, do what you like. I am just not a fan of covering up an engine.

Maz,
Based on the formula that K&N uses to compute air filter area, we should all be running filters the size of pizza boxes. The filters in these assemblies all seem small. Some of the designs have larger filters, but they are located close to sources of heat. And none of the designs seem to possess direct inlet path.

These may work okay on a 300 horse targetmaster 350, butif you're making any sort of real power, you should pass.

You guys are right. Ill stick with what I have. I don't want anything cheesey on the car.

Your car looks great already. Please don't get the fake intake looking air filter. Trust me your car looks great and better without it.

You obviously liked it otherwise you wouldnt have posted up the link. Do as Matt said, if you like it...buy it, other wise you're building YOUR car for other people & as has been said numerous times by board members regarding the high end price of things ie DSE frame/billet hinges etc, "it's MY car & I'll spend my money as I like", now you're being told not to 'cos THEY don't like it. You're just falling into the trap of trying to appease your peers by buying what THEY like.If YOU like 'em get 'em. hth. :)
