Default Always looking for opinions.....

Ok this time I would like opinions on which air cleaner to go with, I have customized both but just cant decide which to use on a regular basis. I think the triangular one is a nicer match, but the smaller one opens up and shows off a lot more of my engine.

A little help thanks.......

They both look great, but I definitely vote on the second one. The raised fins that match the valve covers give it a nice finished look. I'm not sure I like the spinner on top of the air cleaner, just doesn't fit the look to me. Everything really looks great under the hood . . . nice job.

Put the raised fins on the oval unit...but dump the 'turbo' locknut. A chrome **** would do the job just fine.

Valve covers are Edelbrock Elite tall valve covers, powder coated, then I sanded the fins, then they were clear coated.
