Spectre cold air intake

Spectre has worked super hard lately to disguise the fact that they are cheap Chinese-made trash. Butter bolts, shitty aluminum, and filters so restrictive and poorly made I refuse to use them because I don't want my engine ingesting that crap.

Spend the money, do it right. I like K&N, and if you can sell an old carburetor or two, get the fresh air system from ramairbox.com or similar.

Is hood clearance an issue?
