Thread: Ram Air question

I was reading an article that states ram air should only be used with a panel filter anyone know if this is true and why?

Its just for looks.

Yeah but is using a cone filter hurting the air flow and thereby engine as well, as gas mileage and performance?

Cone, square, triangle it dont matter.

This is mine.

I have the same one on mine except since its ram air I have a cold air box around it with no top on it was going to put a plexiglass top on it but cot sure I see a point in it the box feeds from the fender and the ram air
