Wouldn't it be true that if I had a filter in my 2 1/4" intake tube, that it could freeze up or clog faster than if I had no air filter into my carb? If I did have a filter, It might stop a bird but at 200 mph, that is doubtful but then again the prop might make the best air filter of all. I'd like some opinions on that. Thanks.
