Of the 2 "normal" sizes air filters used on Weber carbs or ITB's, I cannot use the smaller 4.5x7 oval due to it being a tad bit too small (I don't want to modify my air-horns again)....
the 5.5x9 oval will allow clearance, however, there might be firewall (trunk) clearance issues with the additional length. So if I offset the aircleaner, it would solve my problems..or it might create more due to getting a weird flow pattern...yea/nea???  |

I wouldn't think the seat of the pants dyno would register an unfavorable reading. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

More filter surface = less restriction. I don't think there will be a perceptable difference at all- at least not negative.

I have been running it that way for a while but I did not move it as far as your
representation shows. I ovaled the holes 3/8" and mounted it there, clears the trunk bulkhead and I have not noticed any difference. |

I can't imagine there being much effect. I'm amazed by some of the air filters I see, and what you're proposing doesn't look half as weird.
