John, It's not open, It has a clear Lexan cover. You just can't see it in the picture.

Hi everyone, I was browsing through SpecialTAuto.com's website after having ordered some standard and some not-so-standard tune up parts, and just wanted to ask your opinions. Does anyone think upgrading the air filter/cover with one of those expensive K&N style filters with the Lexan covers is worth it? And how do they work anyway? That cover looks all nice and stainless etc. but it's OPEN! I mean, isn't the stock air filter cover clamp on for a reason? I may not be a genius in the car mechanical area, but still...Seriously, what are your thoughts? -John To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
