Anybody running this kind of a set up? Got a pic? I'm curious about changing things up this year and this is one idea I have.

You'll get lots of turbo whistle, it's a pretty pleasing sound.

I had a short elbow and the filter right after. Worked fine, it whistled a but which I didn't really enjoy though.

Did it, but my setup made it a tight fit, and it got dirty down there, so I brought it back up. I also tried a metal screen over the housing, but needed to daily it for a while, so I put a real filter on it.
