Default 2 questions

Since drag pipes take away some of the motors low end, does this mean that gas mileage will suffer?

Also, what high flow AC set up will let me use my stock anniversary ham can cover, AND let me clean and re oil the filter?

Thanks.

I think K&N is now making a filter element for the SE A/C.
