Does anyone know if a BHAF will fit an 06'? If so how and what is the correct part number of the filter?

Thanks,

its not going to fit that easliy.
you will probably have to trim the
battery tray at least.

you can get the reducer from home depot in the
plumbing section where the pvc is and such.

you'll also have to drill the holes out for the sensor.

here is good thread on how to build the custom intake for a BHAF. I made one of these also sounds and looks good if you paint the pvc

that link does not have a true bhaf - that blue filter
is about half the size of a bhaf, which is why it looks
to fit so well.

good lookin intake though !
