I've looked at their web site, and I'm unclearas to how the cool air gets into the air cleaner without some sort of enclosure and plumbing to bring it down from the rear vents. Does the filter live in the space behind the tail light? Just pulling the ambient air from the engine compartment will likely reduce available power, since the air is very hot (especially in the summer) and therefore less dense.
