Where would you fit that? Don't think you will like that much. I would just get the motor savor filter and be done with it.... that's just my opinion though

Junk....... id run no filter before running that crap..... just a good old foam filter with a pre-filter is all you need..... Yes you can pray the filter cap and base blue to match your truck.

With the money we just saved you from wasting you could buy that 2.4 setup off me

Guess I have to explain....RB Innov makes that air filter - I wouldn't use it or consider it anymore than I'd waste my money on their gimmicky supercharger or their nitrous junk.

I don't even understand the need for a filter this large. Little nitro motors don't suck in enough air to warrant something that big!

What a crock!
a well trained 1:1 scale eye will tell you that is a breather filter for early 90's Fords. It sits in the air box and filters the oil fumes being pulled from the crankcase.

Here's an example of a Ford breather filter:

So I guess if you really want to try to strap that junk onto your ride, I can save you $20. Or you could spend that money on a REAL filter designed to run on a nitro engine.
