Spectre Performance 9549 3.5-inch 45-degree Aluminum Elbow Tube Review

I removed the 'air filter for life' box from my 2007 Focus (160k miles) and attached it with a 3.5" Specter coupler instead. I then attached the Specter Short Airflow Filter. I ended up experiencing a much smoother engine with better acceleration and gas mileage. The difference is insane

I have used Specter products for many years and they are great products. I have inlet parks installed on my car. I put intake kits on my friends cars. Specter is as good as K&N. The packaging of the product is also excellent. This aluminum piece even came with a protective cloth pouch (see image).

I needed a relocated air cleaner because I had relocated the A/C compressor on a Buick Rainier 5.3L V8. The OEM is on top of the oversized washer reservoir, so I ditched both (ordered a custom washer reservoir elsewhere) and used a 3.5" to 3.77" silicone adapter to attach it to the MAF sensor to fix. The filter attaches to the other end of the bend and I used a T-bolt clamp as a pivot through the aluminum Z-bracket to the passenger's inner fender.
