I have a 4" on the Rampage and I just clear a 4" filter and top EDIT On their measurement it will be the very rear to get their dimension(mines is 4" at the back) 7618667-DSC00186.JPG (63 downloads) Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 03/08/13 08:24 PM.

WTF!!! but after it sat on the hood & we sank a few liquid ambers, we noticed it was slighly sagged in the middle. so we pulled the sides in with some wide tape under the base & sat the cowl back on, hey 6 1/2" much better. in the Harwood website they measure from the end of the opening to a horizontal point below. since we bonded our cowl with this preload built in, pics of my junk running thru the traps show the cowl still holding its shape, unlike some cars that didn't do this showing a big saggy center section of cowl. 7618970-12Jan15_9127.jpg (62 downloads)

My only question is when I measure at the back it is about 4" from the cowl to the top of the carb. yet when I measure from a flat surface in front of the carb I am at about 7". I am thinking because I have a 2" spacer on the M1 intake. I want to run the 6" but am thinking 9" will work better. Thoughts?
