OMG I thought you guys were kidding about the open cone thing I might give it a try, I'd just like to put it a few inches more separate from the exhaust pipe.
Jake: mine is a 98 GTP. The box has a 3" inlet. That rubber fitting at the fender that you see where I ran my 3" v2 goes with the factory box and it's also 3" =( That's why I think that in my case, having the 3" v2 wasn't worse than the factory box with the 3" inlet, atleast as far as width goes.
But anyway, I'm getting the 4" filter today and trying it out with the aluminum tube that you see in the picture.
