But how can these be filtered when the only opening to the inside of the filter where dirty air goes to be filtered is the top opening where the snorkel is? See what i'm saying? Any other air inlet would have to go without filtering.


The internal snorkels that lead to the carbs apparently obstruct airflow enough to rob a few horsepower. Nothing to do with filtering, just effecient airflow. Most of these type of items in factory air intake systems is to quiet the intake noise (at least on cars they are built that way). You have to really reach far in towards the carbs to grab the internal snorkels. Mine are stored in my OEM parts box up in the attic, or I'd snap a photo.
