   It does look good quality and it does sit away from the engine a bit more near to the slam panel . But I thought open air filters are shit ?

   You might say its "Bad Ass" lol. To be fair the pipework does look fairly good quality, cant comment on the actual filter as i'd imagine its just a universal crappy thing slapped onto it. Looking at where abouts it would sit in the bay i'd imagine its still going to suffer from all the heat around it somewhat, personally i'd go with an enclosed one if i were you. Ebay sellers love telling you that you're going to get lots of power from bolting on their products.
