[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15185699, member: 8854"] Well I never liked the under hood air filter setup but with the giant whipple crusher inlet there's no options out there. Now that I have a killer chiller setup I really wanted to get rid of it more than ever.... so I decided to build something :) Here's where the filter was.

After many hours of testing, design and mock up I ended up with this.

It's now nice and shielded. Once the weather warms up some and I get some seat time we'll see how IAT temps have changed, I'm betting a lot and be more like when I had the filter in the fender with my old Eaton setup.
