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"

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.

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.

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