If you mean the headlight dealy, i believe he gutted a spare headlight to allow air to flow through it to the K&N...that's all.

Nice idea. The girl sitting beside me though asked why your car had a gloryhole.

I think I like the way her mind works.

Personally though I'm a believer that the best air comes from the ground. Cooler air sinks down and cooler air more O2 in it. Therefore scoop as low as you can without sucking earthworms into the air box.
