This goes for you TOO! We don't work here for you. We are not your personal resource employee's. BFD if someone tells you their opinion about a product. Don't respond to their posts either!

You do NOT get the right to ask a poorly worded question and then flame people because their response isn't what you wanted.

That's being a chickensh&t Navy Brat!

Great thread, a must read from the start. Doesn't look like anyone coughed up a picture of a burnt vette cause by a fly eye air cleaner though.

So does the BALDWIN MOTION FLY EYE AIR CLEANER catch on fire like the Edelbrock or is the Baldwin Motion air cleaner safe ?
