Dilemma: Which air cleaner?

I like the look of the open aftermarket unit. However, to use the OE unit, I would make your heater hoses a bit long like above. Nice, real nice Mr. Hartman.
I have that aircleaner myself and just got my 318 pie pan. To bad the air cleaner is kind of expensive and to add approx. $40 for the pie tin is ..well, upsets me. Though I do think it's a great looking unit.
