The vent tubes on the main body of my 8082 dominator... are they set at a certain height for a reason? my front vent is higher than the rear and is causing interference with my air cleaner lid. I'm trying to SQUEEZE my 16" air cleaner under my hood and have drastically cut my Indy intake for fitment and have bought a 2" drop base to make it fit with a 3.5" filter and it would probably fit without the tubes sticking up. With the tubes sitting up 3/4" above the main body a 4" element can BARELY be forced to work with slight hood interference.
Can the tubes be shortened- and if so- how much?
I'm running a K&N flow thru lid and it has a flat metal screen across the bottom- not domed as it may appear on the bottom so the tubes cannot fit up inside the lid.
No matter what base or height of filter I use clearing the vents is a problem before I hit the hood.... I might drop the K member but I am not cutting this hood(yes I'm being totally stubborn )
