Not to bother the V8 DML'ers here...but stay away from the 10" round filter
setup for the V6 Daks...we've been through this already (on the DML list)
and the general consensus was Tube w/K&N Cone filter setup. I've personally
alro tried the 10" filter and gave it to a friend with a V8...I'll stick
with my 3" Tube.
