• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

FWI without pulling the bumper.

When pulling the bumper for the intercooler I also looked into the best way to install a FWI. I was hoping to avoid hacking on the brace that is in the way, and also hoping to avoid having to pull the bumper to ever get to the filter. I started searching the K&N site and came across the RU-2510. It has a 4" opening, but is not much wider around and very short. With it I can slide it into the fender from the engine compartment with a little manipulation. You could even make it easier by enlarging the hole a little. From there it was just a matter of trimming the roof flashing piece and screwing it down, and connecting the 4" piping. It saves a bit of time, money, and effort by cutting out the entire process within the fender. IAT readings have been ambient.

RU-2510 - K&N Universal Air Filters, Universal Rubber Filter

You can buy it straight from K&N. I bought it off of Amazon for $32 with free shipping.
 


I think you may be on to something there. I have thought of ways to space out the flashing to better accommodate filters without the need to remove everything just to clean or otherwise service the filter.
