what does the backing plate look like?

A DK custom intake would probably flow a touch better and allow you to get the crank case breathers out of the intake stream. Which will net a little more power.

Not by much. I seem to recall seeing numbers somewhere that showed that no filter at all only gave about a 2-3% improvement.

But the comment about getting the recirculated crankcase gas out of the intake is valid for sure.

That should flow more than enough air...by the way that is one of the best looking paint jobs I've seen from the moco in awhile.

a R and R air cleaner is similar.
