Air Cleaner Window Cutout Mod
One word: Don't
At least not the "traditional" style aircleaner window cut out
that is being advertised in "TPIS Insider Secrets" (shown
above) books and is pretty commonplace on Message Board Posts. This
mod is for a different design
than our 86 T/A 5.0 TPI's air cleaner assembly uses.
Upon closer inspection you will find that air enters from the square box on top of our air cleaners and goes to
the inside of the
air filter, then to the outside into the housing. Cutting windows in the housing will leave your car without an air filter.
As for now I have heard of "swiss cheesing" the top and of doing away with the cleaner housing totally
and using a K&N Cone Filter mounted directly to the MAF giving good results.
I will be experimenting and searching for the equivalent mod suited for our style air cleaners and will keep you
posted of results.
