are there filters like that thare can just be put right onto the front? like instead of screen on the flat outside part, it's filter material? I'd really like to get my filter out of the fender because of when it rains.

yes you can im thinking of doing it too when i put my f1a on....less of a PITA than attaching the power pipe and getting it all lined up

Find it for me because I'm lazy. :lol: ...please. If and when I do a bigger radiator, my elbow at the headunit is going to hit again.

that ebay link will work for you man you just give him your inlet size and throw that puppy on, i think you will probally gain some power too...also it will move the "intake" up so the chance of sucking up water will be less

That's not a filter, its just a screen.

Do you have any more pics of that? Or did you only have to cut that panel for the filter to fit?

I went with a larger radiator and intercooler . I bumped out the front and lowered everything . The foam and bracket support were removed and i installed a chrome-moly tubular support . Your radiator will be in the way for your set-up .

This set-up works great because it now lets the blower bring air directly from the front with no obstruction !

Did it change the sound of the blower going from a powerpipe to just a filter?
