Where do you go for a refill? Afrox? Padi?

Re: 58 beetle project with nitrous
This does look pretty cool:
What else would you need to change or is it a "straight swop"?

Re: 58 beetle project with nitrous
if you talking about the front, you may have to refit the air cleaners instead of cutting the lid?

Re: 58 beetle project with nitrous
Cutting is not a option and there is no other way to fit the air cleaners.

Re: 58 beetle project with nitrous
You have to find smaller filters ( i know this sucks i have two k&n 's just lying in the garrage 
) or you have to run a decklid standoff kit , i had to go this route cos the fan is in the way on my car .
