I'm interested in this too. Last year I discussed it with Dirk Wacker (I 
gave his link on a prior e-mail) and he said he could do one, if he had one 
on hand for reference. (Not a cheapie project, though.) I haven't got time 
to pursue this personally... just passing it along. The OEM filter box is 
pretty ugly. I'd love to replace mine with something decent looking. A car 
at Eurofest in the People's Choice competition had a K&N breather on it. 
Looked stock, complete with K&N logo. Not real huge... about the size of a 
large soup can. Of course, it eliminated the heat stove, outside air intake 
etc. I don't know the overall impact of that design change. James Espey can 
probably give you the name of the owner... it was red.
