I picked the filter up today and I'm contemplating making the bracket/shroud for it right now, I'm really tempted at 5:30 in 105 degree heat to just throw the filter on and go home to the air conditioning!!

I had the mount on mine but had a serious problem with the hose working its way off the filter and sucking in unfiltered air. Rather than destroy my engine I took the mount off and the hose stays connected now

I'm using my OEM hose and found the that the lip on the filter is tapered just a bit and is slightly too small. so I did what any professional technician would do and wrapped the lip of the filter with electrical tape.
I guess I could get a piece of tubing that fit into the ID of the filter opening(what it looks like it was designed for) and weld that to another piece of tubing that properly fit inside the OEM turbo hose but...the clamp over e-tape worked pretty good...unless it comes loose and sucks the tape into the compressor...

grease im with you on that one electrical tape does the job...my bhaf mount is the stock airbox trimmed up, left maybe the bottom 1/3 of the filter box so i can use the bolt that goes to the fender well to hold it there and trimmed the front and back off so it kinda cradles the filter...works perfect

If you get a hose clamp instead of the factory clamp it will work. The factory clamp is just a hair to big! Tape works too though...

hah, any of your guys have family from WV? i moved here like 4 er 5 years ago and west virginians have an odd mechanical ability to use next to nothing to make something work... even if it is for 5 mins to run it up the road... i've seen duct tape used on the exhaust to hold it and seal it....
