Default Also in tech section.

I threw this up in the tech section too, but thought I'd cover it here as well. Just a question about an intake I'm fabbing up. First:air element standing up on end, or laying down so the top is into the wind. Next: Opinion on running the breather tubes into the element as in stock, or adding two more small filters for them? Thanks in advance!

Go with what looks the best. I've seen high-flow a/c's that mount sticking up on end and forward facing so either will work. As far as the breather tube filters, isn't that a bit redundant and unnecessary? The air going into them is past the a/c filter right?

On the stock 'Canned Ham' the breathers are plumbed into the filtered section of the air box. (Now I'm second guessing since I'm not looking right at it) Thanks for the tip, and I think I will go with what ever I figure looks better.
