The open air filter mod only takes an hour from start to finsih. I made my own adapter and everything too. although, i cut my intake tube to allow more room for my filter. I dont even use a bracket to hold my filter either, its out of the way of all other parts and its tightly secured onto the throttle body. Before i cut my intake tube i used normal Zip-Ties to hold it to the radiator cross-member. How it basically "Floats"
