Air box or Filter/ filters

What do you recon, as metioned above for a 2.0 pinto with bike carbs.

Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Fit trumpets to each carb, and build an airbox around them. I found it cut engine noise (drive by) on my car, and a lot of people claim a HP increase too.

Think i will try a one like davids, and try keep it inside the bonnet.
I have seen filter foam on e-bay and have some spare ali.

Note that I did make some holes in the side of the bonnet next to the filter, covered with mesh on the inside (the front of the filter was very close to the bonnet and may not have got enough air).

Here's three of the holes - total of 4 - excuse the bent bit, which was a totally different story! Rescued attachment bonnet.JPG

I have a hole in the top of the bonnet which was where the old k&n on the webber came through which will have a scoop fitted.
So if i put the filter element towards the top of the air box the scoop should direct the flow into the air box.
Can't belive the price of the sausage filters,

cheers
