Have you ever heard singing the V6 with Colombo filters ?
It's like hearing a trumpet playing with and without mute ;)
And then eliminate the problem of oil vapors that blur the carbs ...

My FIAT Dino is from 1974 that is owned by my family, and the filters were installed at the time.
The filter element replacement I found it directly from the company that at the time produced them ...

They still have a few parts and can reproduce, in some cases, the missing parts ;)

Theý look really beutiful - very nice.
I have often herad that, while These filters look beautiful and the engine is louder, as the engine is then breathing warmer air from directly above the engine, it doesn´t help for more power, more loosing a bit.
Don´t know if it´s a big difference.

I am happy with my original set up.

The original filter from where he takes the air ?
Fourteen centimeter below ;)
I have no idea whether what you've heard is true .
These filters were produced for the Stratos, so I think they had some vantage for engine, one of them is that not smudge carbs with the recovery oil vapors .
For example, my father bought his Fiat Dino Coupé with the original filter, after installed the Colombo filters and did not remove them more because he believed that the engine would work much better.
But it was forty years ago ...
Now I have both (Colombo and original FIAT ) and when the car will be ready and I'll try, I'll give my impression ...
