VCM looks good. So dose the Dus speed ... it looks very stealth and factory.

VCM and Dus speed are Over the radiator same as orossom and ziggy
So if I am not going for ramjet or russo should I go for VCM

It's not the fault of the manufacturer ... it's the fact that there is not enough room in front of the radiator for the filter section if there is a trans cooler sitting there. It's also not as easy to tip back the radiator. Basic fact I'll attach a shot of my engine bay so you can see what I mean ... look at the 2 x red brackets that extend the top two radiator mounts by about 80mm

Here's the thing ... you go Russo or Ramjet if you want the very best kw possible ... you can still get good results from Orssom, Ziggy or some of the other OTRs that sit above the cowling rather than in front of the radiator.

I believe the Dus has an air pickup there, but not the actual filter ... which means it doesn't need the space.

The ramjets & russo otr's have their air filters sitting in front of the radiator, whereas the vcm, Duspeed, Orssom & ziggy have theirs sitting ontop of the radiator(Duspeed & ziggy have airscoops directing airflow into them).
