I stand corrected. Thank you. But in my case, I believe they are mutually
exclusive in terms of what's available off the shelf. My carbs are a little
unconventional and I've not seen velocity stacks with filters or ones that
will fit inside the filters available for my setup. I'm glad to hear that
others can more easily accomplish this, though.

It is quite possible and beneficial to run short velocity stacks
inside of the air filters. They are not mutually exclusive.
The short stack provides for a less turbulent air flow into the carb
from the air cleaner.
