By the time you add a pair of 1/4" thick aluminum plates to securely clamp the K&N's, you've saved nothing. These things need rigidity.

If cosmetics are a factor and someone wants something less generic or something custom to look at, then its a whole 'nuther purpose,...

This is exactly where I'm at with the CNC aluminum ones. Pretty I can do but lightweight and still stiff enough to seal isn't going to happen. IMO this is a perfect application for steel, unless you're looking for cosmetics.
