That's how mine has looked for a while, I did the same thing, but had to pay for my Spectre filter.
Soon going to upgrade to 4" piping for better air flow when I drop pulley size.
why not just go 4" piping now. shouldn't it help with or without the smaller pulley. I live in California so idk how much I can mod my car due to all the smog B.S.
