you blokes with commies and toranas are forgetting that the poor old kingy never had a factory cold air option of any sort.

Cut a hole, its free power.

hornet ftw.

only problem with hornets is you have to have the really cut down one to keep it legal on QLD roads. And they arent very wide, so only can have a small filter on it.

You could always risk it and go filter out the bonnet and no scoop
