Default would it help?

thinking of trying to take out the left headlight and air filter box and making up a mount so that the tubing goes straight from the throttlebody to the headlight and then running mesh inside of the headlight to stop bugs n ИИИИ gettin in. this would only be for when i take it to the drags.

think it would help? cheers

just have it so that your have a pod in the engine bay behind where the headlight goes and take the head light out, less stuffing around with all the mesh and stuff then

get your self an old head light and get a 3inch hole cut into the glass/plastic and then do the same for the back of the light and mount your pod right up against it, saw a ba xr do this once and it looked awsome if done right. thats the way i would be doing it. you would still want some sort of air filter just incase something slipped through, unless you were going to be using a very fine mesh? (like screen door mesh).
