3" exhaust pipe works quite well. I bought a mandrel bent 90 from summit racing and used some 3/8 plate steel for the flange.

Here's my set up
. Its an intercooled but I think you may be able to do the same setup. I also have some 3" holes drilled underneath it for more airflow. Works good, lowered my egt's about 100f

Should be able to pick up a 45 with silicone boot and 1-2' pipe from a local parts store for around 30 bucks.

You can use a piece of flat stock and bend a 90 on each end, with a hole drilled in one of the ends. Then stick one end under the band clamp on the filter and bolt the other side to your inner fender or wheel well.

I built the BHAF plate. Then cut my stock tube down and installed a piece of 5" aluminum irrigation pipe on it. sort like 1stgenfarmboys only cheaper.

2 4" 45 degree elbows welded together and a straight 4" coupler plus a sheet of aluminum







The best part is it gives a nice flat place to stick tools and such
