i know i know, not your style but i had to have something new.
ill probably take that cone filter off and slap a K&N on there

If that's your plan you should have went with the one I got, it puts the filter about where the stock air box is and comes with a K&N filter for $88 shipped. When I get more time I'm going to cut the tube a little shorter and cut out a slot in my air box so it will work just like the K&N over priced piece of junk.

^Open element cost's more, other then that IDK. Pretty sure open sucks more air aswell.

There are some in the $15-20 range. but open element is far from the best placement (hot air)... which is what I was comparing to the posted intake since the tube is so short.

15-20 for just the filter right? You still need the stuff to make it work then to, unless that stuff is really cheap to. I know it is horrible placement and I'm not real sure why people run them.
