I'm on the fence. First I thought that having it in an enclosure would hurt power. But then I got real and realized that the big HP 392's in the Chrysler 300s had these so I doubt they would rob horsepower. So, I wouldn't mind trying to mimic an original and have the media covered. Also, I think it might actually be a good idea to have the filters draw the air from the top of the lid instead of the bottom so the engine isn't pulling hot air in right off the heads. i'm not sure it will matter with a hood on and setting in traffic though?
I also thought about just having a 7"x3" or so filter under each wing and call it good. The original style with enclosed elements might look better or more nostalgic though?Ryan

I wore a camouflage T-shirt once. The response in the pub was "Oooh, it's a floating head!" .
