Sorry I wasn't clear. The problem was not a physical interference, but rather the guy had issues with percolation when he used a dropped 14"--it acted like an insulating blanket/IR reflector trapping engine heat and the carb bowls would boil over when he stopped, flooding the engine. By moving to a smaller filter and a carb spacer with radiation shield, he fixed the problem.
