Air hits just above a ball cap brim. Definitely can't look skyward or it's a goner. I didn't notice any increase in Db from the air cleaner change, but then again I don't hear so well according to my wife... or maybe that was I don't listen :-).
My last project, this season, will be getting the fog lights installed. The mock ups really change the look of the front end making it seem wider and lower. I'm a tinkerer at heart love to try different set ups. I'm sure some will be awful and I'll have to undo them, but others will be interesting and beautiful, only time will tell, but that's what toys are for.
