I saw one on a seventies or so Bronco, sticking straight up from a fender.

Re: Chrome intake with K&N
 

My snowblower doesn't even have an air filter. If you are concerned about
the K&N "leaking" you can always get the Outerwears® Pre-Filter for use "bei
starkem Dustfall", as it used to say on the decal with instructions for
cleaning your VW air cleaner. Speaking of VW, it didn't even have an oil
filter. In the seventies the hot trick was to invert the top of the air
filter enclosure, thereby bypassing a bunch of pollution controls including
any cold air intake, but ensuring a ready supply of air. Most of the people
I saw using this trick never cleaned or replaced the filter element.

I think one element that people are missing, is to pay some attention to
what kind of environment you are operating in. Sand, for example, is likely
to be different from highway or city, unless you live in the Southwest.

Re: Chrome intake with K&N
 

Hi Earle,
I don't believe my Harleys ever had a filter under their covers
that directed the intake towards the rear.
You had a filter screen, which was more than most small cars had.
Many put the aftermarket toilet paper bypass filter on.
