Tony, I too think it was a good idea, but, I think they went wrong with the
filter location (right over the exh. manifolds and valve covers), and their
"air-
hat" doesn't look any better than stock (except the G.C. setup). However I
think (IMHO) if the air tubes were offset to produce a swirl, the resulting
turbulance would upset airflow into the TB. (IE; very low pressure in the
eye of a hurricane!)...wow it's getting late
