DCI Install Orientation

big_c · 03-10-2014, 10:10 PM

Hey all, I installed my Vishnu DCI a couple weeks back. As most of you know, there is some latitude in how the filters sit....whether the front sits in the rear one, or the rear in the front one.

Just wanted to check how you guys installed yours. Not sure if there is any real difference...

If there is no leaks and it is not hitting the hood your fine .

Doesn't really matter how they sit in there as long as there are no leaks and it doesn't hit the hood like @firemanjust1 said. Every car is a little different.

You're putting some stress on the front accordion tubing if you have them installed like that.
