I just saw these custom air cleaners
 
Has anyone seen stuff like this before?
I'm thinking about getting one as they said if I were to supercharge my engine, that it would fit. What do you guys think?

I think it would look reaaaal funny if its sitting high off the engine like they are on their cars, however if you had it sitting down on the intake, and converted the intake to efi and use a slim throttle body it could look pretty sweet.

I say just save up a little more and get a sheetmetal intake and not have anything to cover up :thumbsup:

I'd rather poke my own eyes out with a red-hot butter knife than click that link again.

I take it that you didn't like it? If I may ask, why?

1) They're WAY too expensive
2) They're the ugliest thing I've ever seen
3) They add wieght to your car with no benifits
4) They're not "custom". If you called them and gave them your own design to build for you, then they'd be custom. I won't deal with a company that thinks I'm stupid.
5) Ugly again.
6) These are almost as bad as those fake turbo air cleaner deals.

If you like 'em, that's all that matters. But you asked for opinions. :)

Seems to me like it would be on an engine that, when asked what all was included in the build up, the answer would be:

"That motor has got the whole 9 yards"

mazspeed 07-17-2006 06:17 PM

So I guess, I should just say no.

It would look good on a gold chainer's, all billet, Boydster show-queen that has everything else "custom made" for his car.

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