seems a shame to expose high$$$ engines to road grit/rubber particles etc

surely someone makes some good looking airbokes for these?

Denis at DPcars made these beauties for remote filter assemblies

Everything is a trade off of some kind... and these cars don't get driven that much that you're likely to wear them out from "road dirt". I just figure that either I'll change intakes - or rebuild the motor - or do something different LONG before the motor is toasted. There is very fine screen covering my stacks (think stainless steel window screen)... and anything that is going to get through that - is just going to either get burned up... or it's certainly not going to stop a piston stroke... so let it see a trip through the head and out the exhaust... and onto the front bumper of the guy that thought he could beat me... :>)

Now why does it have to hit his bumper? I would like to think it was caught up in his intake filter.
