Open Element Air Filter

Hello all,

I have an I6 with fuel injection, the air intake goes from the air box, into 2 smaller tubes, into the throttle bodies. Is there a way of putting an open element filter on this setup without buying expensive aftermarket stuff?

Not really, but performance & mileage would decrease anyway. Read Project MPG.

Tube Grill? I am not sure what you mean.
