Well...What do you guys think?

Post by B_Hix »

Got all the peices for my new breather after a long wait (backorder) - got it installed and my hood will now fit without modifications.
I think I look like Fred now :)

Phewy! Looks good. But how will we recognize your car with a hood on?

Are those a re-usable filter like the K&N? Did they have any stat's for air flow increases? They look cool but that would never fit under my hood with the FE.

LR they are reusable, they have the 'cleaning kit' as well, just like the K/N units. (Use P/N HPR4820 AccuCharge™ kit to clean and re-oil the filter)

No airflow numbers that I could find. My intent is to dyno the car this spring/summer and I'll compare it to the round 14x3 element and see.... I dont run a cyclone hood but if I did you can see the filters would be almost perfectly lined up with the air intakes in the hood which is awesome for you that do

Here is your kit LR :mrgreen: they have tons of different configurations...

Looks awesome Brad.
I love your 67 and the audio of that 331 on your Youtube is just the best.

Kind of reminiscent of the cattle hons they used to put on Cadillac hoods back in the 70's. Only cooler.
