Actually, the QuickD uses stainless steel, not aluminum. Geoffrey
Hackbart sent me some pics of his setup. He bought a QuickD, then used
the stock air hose to extend that closer to the grill. Remove the
rubber baffle on the right side, and you get the filter a lot closer to
where the air is rushing in. I can post the pics if anyone wants to see
and it's OK with Geoffrey.
