yep, thats what i've already got. Sorry, I should have explained my reasoning in the first post. I've used the base of the factory twin carb air cleaner and built a custom box around that with a 3" inlet at the back with a pod filter. This can be extended later to fit a snorkel but its plenty high enough now for the water crossings I intend on doing.
The problem is, I didn't really think of the acoustics that a custom airbox like this might create, and at certain speeds/revs it creates and awful resonating drone. Now i've just put up with it but it makes it a bit annoying on long drives and reality is that this car is my daily driver and doesn't go offroad very often, let alone through water crossings.
So, I was thinking I could get a standard style air filter for everyday driving and if I was going away for a weekend or something 4wdriving it'd only be 2 wingnuts to put the airbox back on again.
So just looking to see whats out there and what others have used on hitachis.
Its dark now but i'll try get some pics of the airbox tomorrow.
cheers
