That's the ****! With those nice big smooth bends there'd be little turbulence. The only bummer is having to relocate your washer bottle, something I personally don't want to do. What did you do with it?
BTW, why's your AFM upsidedown?

I am using a greddy filter and it comes out right before the wheel. The inner fender plastic protects it from dirt and stuff comming off the tire.
I will post pics of the filter asap.
