Are you looking for the replacement element or the complete metal air cleaner unit?

Glad you came up with a filter.

If you put on 3 chrome stacks you might have less restriction which could give you a little gain in hp.
The intake sound and roar when all three are open will be cool enough to make you think it's going a lot faster, that's for sure.

Are the end carbs kicking in properly with the vacuum actuator or are you running a mechanical linkage?
