[Tigers] Air filter drama...easy...no.

[Steve Laifman]

Seems this subject keeps coming up about K&N.

Both David Sosna, and I, have replied to Duke in mid June, 2009. (attached).

These filters are the correct oval in the box, the height allows a F4B 
intake with 4 bbl Holley to fit fine beneath the hood.  Even without a 
LAT scoop.  Taller filters will be difficult, or impossible, to clear 
hood interference.

They are sturdily made, and can be cleaned and K&N oiled so they can 
last nearly forever.
