6637 question?

Does anyone know how to get the filter lower / behind the battery more. I am having trouble with this little issue. Plus its right up on the hood. Thanks guys.

i just removed the air battery box and it fits good. if you leave the box in you have to cut the box to make it fit.

It's a real tight fit on the 4" inlet tube. Try applying a little grease to the tube and you'll be able to slip the filter on as far as you need to. Loosen all the clamps and you should be able to position the thing just about anywhere you want. Then re-tighten the clamps, of course.

And if you haven't already done so, you'll have to cut the factory battery box.

I did cut the box. But it is a squeeze between the battery box and that wire harness . Right now I'm afraid to shut the hood hard cause its right up on.

I cut the corner by the insulated pipe. It seems like I can get more clearance if the stock filter box tabs weren't in the way.

I guess I'm going to take to take a sawzal to those tabs for more clearance.

It should just tuck under the fender lip.
I cut away the complete battery box till just the tray was left.

Pay no attention to the dirty filter cover....
