 . . . do I want to ask why it has two filters???
Wont that make it even more restrictive? I just thought it was an empty can to somehow improve airflow or something - Weird
Out of the list I would have gone for the one that relocates the cone behind the headlight but each to their own I guess.
Two filters - Why . . .

anything in between the airintake and the engine gives resistance to the flow.
2 filters firstly shouldn't be needed. Just use one good filter.
secondly it could possibly hamper performance.

lol thats what I thought
If it has a CDA style filter surely it would be just as well to dump the cone filter on the end and just have a direct cold air feed into the carbon (look) filter wouldnt it???
Gota admit the Simota filters do look quite good quality if not abit of an odd setup  :

Just to clarify, the carbon bit DOES NOT have another filter in it. Its purely cosmetic. And completely hollow.
However them Simotas are fecking loud!

There you go!
I would have found it very hard to beleive if it had had two filters.
So off hand, what is the advantage of the carbon box? Ive heard loads of funny stories about putting objects in the flow of induction air to make the air easier to mix with the fuel etc etc
Any ideas?
