hey everybody

well right now i have a snorkel, which im running into my airbox. id really like to get rid of the airbox, and just go straight from the snorkel to the throttle body, as the airbox takes up a lot of room, and pretty much impossible to get water tight. any ideas on how i can do this??atriot:

Where's your air filter going to reside if you do that?

You could make a canister for a conical type filter. I plan to do that in the fall sometime...

I had the same problem and I wanted to add a second battery. Look for a 1997ish Ford Escort. They have a cone filter inside of a canister. i took one and shortened it up. It is kind of tight but it works.

Is the Apollo filter a goner? I see that it is listed on the K&N website and I thought I read somewhere that it was delayed or something?? but was still coming out.

it was available for a short time then they pulled it, apparently it did'nt flow enough air. i ended up using a ricer "ractive" filter assembly and modify it.
