well im working on putting the napa filter on right now it was 50 bucks here in vegas and i got a 45 degree pipe and had to squeeze that rubber hose onto that and then figure a way to get the filter on that 45 piece its fighting with me now haha but im not going to give up

is there any tricks to getting that damn stock air box out of there i cant seem to do it

thanks

ill also have pictures of it soon for you to see and let me know if it looks good enough or if i have to chang anything

Put a little oil/wd-40 on the rubber gromets that hold the box down then pull it up!

so your telling me that all the pulling and screaming and anger that i had while i was out there was unnecessary haha cool well ill try that out and then get some pictures up i broke parts of that air box off trying to get it out already but after i get the napa filter in there i wont have a need for the stock air box anyway

thanks

well its all done and it seems to be sealed up pretty good i think i am going to get a 60 degree connector tomorrow and try that out the 45 is a little tight fit

Just got mine done today. I have some pics but can only download them on my wifes computer upstairs. I just used a striaght 4" pipe at 3" lenght.

At first I thought I might need to get some sort of angle like Hillbilly But then I thought about it and I think it gets better airflow the way it is as it is not flush against the bottom of that pad. It is kinda on a angle like hillbilly's but a tad bit more. I was able to turn the flexible pipe around and it fits.

Only problem is I wonder about the seal. Like I said it is a bit on the angle but the seal appears good to me. I got the clamp on there pretty tight so I think I'm good. I would rather know I'm good though.

Where did you get that coupler Hillbilly?

Ouch for vegas on that price of the filter. Next time order your replacement from Fleet filter. It was only 28 with shipping.

Ohh by the way man is the turbo Whistle awesome now. It really has A super High pitch scream around 10 + PSI

The seal shouldn't be a problem after a week try to pull them apart! This is the second filter on mine and when I tried to replace it I was very apt to loose my religon as I tried to get them apart the seal from the 4" 90 to my air filter was so tight I cut the end of the old one open to pound it out.
