3 inch X 6 inch UNI 2 stage filter, a specter 90 deg elbow, and misc parts to hold it together, the support is also a specter support












my legs do not touch the elbow, so it may hold up, i just got it together tonight. Had to adjust the idle air screw, so maybe it helped with air flow...

: )

It just takes practice - welcome to the dark side!

(I'll be moving this to the carb intake section of the KV in a few days - it can stay here for now though)

- looks well thought out.

im going to use my gastester to tune it, then try a sock filter and see which allows more air flow (using CO lvls as the indicator).
