I have been having quite the time trying to get non-stock air filters to fit inside the engine bay. The 4,5,6 side has no issues, but the 1,2,3 is hitting the trunk lip. I have cut some of the seal away (smh new seal) to get it to fit. I just ordered what I thought were a new set of k&N for $220 only to find out it was one. This setup is a little slimmer than the aluminum K&N by about a 1/4 inch. So it might work, I just hate dropping $440 on a set of pods when I have a set of pods.

What are most doing for this? I saw ITG has a pair for under $400, but they look (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I don't even know how rain hats would even fit, but I'm sure I have seen some. I know Ben is running clear plastic tops which look to fit just under the lip. I am running the mad dog OEM mount. My carbs sit a little taller due to phelonic spacers. Are people running a slimmer profile filter?

Edit: Running Zeniths

I guess my mount is welded a 1/4" too high OR the phenolic spacers are causing the clearance issue. This is without the filter on. It is right there. With the filter it pushes it up to where I have it cut out. Guess I just need to live with it.
