Neat setup...be interesting to see test results with two filters....just make sure you never drive into alot of water...(not likely)...but a C4 bud did on I-40 in a dip during a flash flood..cost him a new engine..rain won't be an issue...

Thanks,

I'm in Phoenix, so I don't think I have to worry much about the water.

Todbo, thanks for the link.

The problem with that on my application was that I didn't have an air cleaner. Could work on a stock one though...

Anyone have this unit on their C3? I was all set to buy one last year, and they told me they had clearance issues with the production design and stopped further development.

Default stock L82 air cleaner

Seems like the stock L82 twin horn air cleaner would be the optimum start if you have hood clearance concerns, even if you dont use the stock over the radiator intake.
