Default Triangular Air Filter Modifications ( Update )

I started a thread a few days ago, named "Triangular Air filter Modification" :

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...ification.html

The job is now totally finished, so here are the last pictures with the KNN element E-3737. I had to cut exactly 1 inch of the KNN element, because its developped length was too long to fit the TRANSDAPT # 2294 triangular base. It was an easy job and I used Loctite SuperGlue 3 to glue the rubber gaskets together. It is really strong and makes a very clean work, almost invisible, as you can see on the pictures...

Oh yes, and I still love big pictures

New upgrade : Aluminum stubstack. Don't ask me where to buy it, I made it myself, and computer simulated the profile with COSMOSFlowWorks.
Probably not a BIG improvement, but I like to play with that things :
