This is indoor work. The only time i was outside was to find the center for my cover to mount it on the carb. I just played around and got a model even though it is WAY too big. I am gonna make another model tomorrow that will be the right size. then i will have to build an adapter to keep my 2.5 inch pipes. Im gonna try and make those pics smaller now.

So your running two hoses? I was looking at my air cleaner the other day. I was thinking of doing something like your doing. ARe you planning on a filter inside that, or somewhere else?

I wouldnt be able to use two on my car due to the a/c compressor being on the driver's side. Plus, it would be nice to utilize the battery vent on the passenger side as a place to get cold air in (how many times do I have to say this!)

Also, putting the filter on the end of the tube as opposed to near the carb is the best bet as far as getting the least restricted airflow. I'll have to ask one of my engineering friends about that, but I'm pretty sure. Just look at all the "cold air" intakes for modern cars. They have a cone type filter on the end of the tube far away from the intake manifold.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking would have to be done. I heard you about the battery vent, You also said, you'd have to relocate the battery and i dont want to do that to my stang.

Allen, i am putting the filter where the 2 holes are. So you are saying that more air would get through if the filters were at the end of the pipes? If the end of the pipes is better then i will do that. I just like 2 pipes A LOT better. Does the suck any air or is it just a natural flow into it?

I believe it would be better if mounted under the car, right under the valence panel. MAke a large scoop that spans out, and connects to both of the pipes.
