Re: 10v air filter upgrades?

Hope it works out well for you.
	I plan to ditch the box entirely someday and make my own Cone
Filter unit.  Hell, you can get a K&N cone filter from Racing Shops for
like $15-20 so why pay $250 for Taps unit.  What a rip-off.  And they done
even include heat shielding.  I will make a metal heat shield to
Completely block it off and duct in good fresh air to it from outside.
	L8R and good luck
