Get Martin Schneider's custom air intake system for your Vanagon. I've
been running mine for over a year now with excellent results. There's
definitely a discernible improvement in overall power. The engine does
tend to sound 'throatier' however. It also uses the oilable K&N style
filter, although the MSDS one is an almost 360 degree cone!
