RE: Open Element Filters (Re: Chips)long

Yes Greg, I'm not being sarcastic when I say, of course it'll work if you
put it in a different spot. But once you do that, it's not a p-flow anymore,
now is it Grasshopper??

Unless you're using the p-flow in Alaska (in the Winter), it robs your
engine of power. Everybody knows that. ;)
