Default pict of you air filters - EFI peeps

how/where have you positioned your air filters?

Is a mushroom type ok or should I go for a chunky group A type?

Sorry to revive an old thread guys, but a quick question. Am I right in thinking that your all using 63mm 45 degree angle silicone hoses to plumb in your group A cone filters in?
