Re: (not P.C. "n" word here) rigging

Check out this dyno.

I think the issue here is if you don't specifically isolate the filter
from the engine bay and duct cold air to it you will loose more power
due to hotter intake air than you will gain from reduced restriction.

Couldn't i take out the air filter, put in a handmade rubber gasket so there's a seal there, and (that word again) a huge k&n cone filter somewhere where it's not in the way?  i imagine a huge cone filter has a lot more capability than a flat k&n, and then the whole intake hose thingy and intake manifold thingy can be eliminated, drastically cutting down on restriction and help produce a deeper sound.  Does this make sense or am i insane?
