hndrsonj,
No. Due to the design of the stock air box, it won't flip. I TRIED THAT.

And I find mine is much quieter. Mainly because now instead of a higher pitched whoosh, it gets a much healthier, deeper roar. Maybe a new dual exhaust, possibly 3 inch mandrel bent duals will be next. The guy who owns Classic Mustangs here in Colorado (he is a member here as well) has done several exhausts for CUCV's.

cucvfreek, I'll talk to the guy who owns Classic Mustangs. Maybe he wants to start doing some very minor fab work for the CUCV's he sells. Then it's but one short step to selling this setup to anyone else who wants one. This IS a cheap fix for a much higher volume of air. Combine that with a better exhaust flow and you should get some impressive numbers for both MPG and HP/Torque increases. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

I'm still going to add some insulation. For $40 to LMC Trucks (plus probably another $10 for connectors), I have seen this insulation installed and you literally can't even hear a stock setup running. Pretty impressive.

So I'll be adding the under hood insulation. And I will eventually be fully sound insulating the front part of my cab with Fat Mat and a new rubber floor. I've only got a few things left with this truck and she should be 100%.

We will see.

pawnshop,
ALL my vehicles run K&N. Even my wife's Subaru runs one. I even put one in a deuce I owned a couple of years back. I have never had any problems with my K&N's. What's not to like about a cleanable, reusable 1M mile air filter?

lavarok,
I love the green stock air filter box you are running. I actually considered that, but given my stock box is black, I just stayed with that. Plus with two openings you are begining to approach what I got with my mod. Good job.
