i've seen two styles of this cannister - the one you describe and the one i
bought (but have not yet installed) for my spider.  same basic cannister,
but in addition to the oval opening there is a round stub for attachment of
a cold air hose.  another neat thing is that the front of the cannister
rotates so you can open or close the oval opening, presumably to supplement
the cold air supply if you're not getting enough.

getting ready to take some measurements with the current curved air horns,
then see if this cannister offers any improvement.

later,
