Fitted it to my Savage with both air filters and fired it up. Took her out for a ride and wow holy heck. It has a huge increase in power. The air sucking noise that the 1 filter produced is gone. When I had just the pod straight on the carb it ran good but didnt feel that smooth, prob due to air turbulence. Now that there is some pipe between the filters and the carb and it runs very smooth. I positioned the filters out past the side covers to collect cool air, And is free from my legs.

Im going to have to find one of those. That one is 3" and I used 50mm, I cant convert that. 50 mm is roughly 2 inches so is that T fitting avalible in 2"?

Turned the filters vertical instead or horizontal. Not sure which looks best.

YOure just wanting to disguise that its PVC? If so, Ill take a shot.
Some of todays body fillers are pretty light. Hafta texture the plastif up Good & then, when applying, hafta PRess the "bondo" into the scratches, "wetting" the surface. Shape it up W/ a cheesegrater tool. Its okay if ya dont get all of it "wet" & shaped up, just make sure all surfaces are textured before a new layer is allowed to go on over it. Once you smooth the shape up, you Mght be able to fiberglass it, IDK if PVC will handle that stuff on it,

ORR? Use your part & read a little on makin a mold?

PVC takes paint pretty well. Maybe some silver with a clearcoat over it. Might look almost like chrome.

Yes that is a option.
