Side Draft Filtration

[C13LucianF]

Just curious what everyone is running - open horns, sock filters, ramflow, screens etc. Let's see some pics!

while the weber filters were on back-order... I found these on fleabay for about 1/4 the cost. Had to mod the mounting bars a little by cutting them, to get around the horns, but they work perfectly.

I ordered a blank mounting plate, then had a sheetmetal shop machine all the holes. In this way I was able to move the whole filter assembly rearward to allow a little more room for the alternator.

Is that the weber universal linkage?

On my car I will be using an original 2002 Ti air cleaner assembly, similar to this.

If I were to use after market filters I like these new ones from ITG... as they do not restrict the air coming into the stack, and allow for a taller stack for better tuneability.

I also like RamFlo filters for the same reason.

It is a TWM manifold and TWM linkage. (I just double-checked, and the linkage is TWM)

well, that's the trick, isn't it?

The carbs fit, but getting clean air in, that's the hard part...

Molly's got socks over her air horns. But I doubt that I really need the air horns, as I think their purpose is to improve horsepower at higher rpms (the longer the horn, the higher the rpm). So I may switch to the K&N filters or something like them. If I decide I still want horns, I have an incredibly short set that will probably fit inside the filters.

I think you have that backwards - A long stack tunes for a lower RPM, shorter is higher RPM.
