its pointless and costs more then this. The reason this is done is because it gives direct air in 360 degree angle.

Carbies respond better with filters coming off the throats. In other words, air from 360 degrees rather than enclosed piping with a filter at the end of it.
The direct air from the filters down the throats is what makes it more responsive.
Theoretically yes I agree but Ive experienced both setups and without the stock location filter in place it performs better..
I would have freely ran against other setups for comparison but cars long gone
*individual results may vary from those expressed lol
I tried doing this with a single carby, since I cant find a filter that would replace the air box assy, I just took off the intake arm connected to the fender well and that alone made the acceleration / throttle responsive and quicker. Went to AutoBarn and Supercheap but I can't find any universal filters to chuck on the mouth of the TB. I just bought a mini breather.
PS: it seems to make the petrol consumption a bit higher.
Lol! popo's won't like big carburetor sticking out of the bonnet!
