Dave - I guess I am confused

I just didn't see how a wide-open K&N cone sitting on the throttle body could work with an induction system that normally operates with a number of vacuum hoses connected to a sealed air cleaner box. (There would be nowhere to connect the hoses.) I suppose if you duct it to a remote location via a PVC pipe (like Jeff's) then that solves that problem, as you said you run the hoses to the ducting.
With that cleared up, is this a worthwhile mod in the first place? I'm sure there are some small gains but without other mods to pump more air thru the engine (heads, exhaust) I don't see picking up a lot of HP.
Cheers,
Chris
