I drilled a hole in my 4" pipe and took a rat tail file and filed two grooves so my sensor would fit. I have'nt had any problems and it is functional more so than if it were dangling beside the filter
Edit...what I mean 4 inch pipe... this is the pipe that I used to adapt to my filter out of exaust pipe

Is this the filter minder? OR something else. I saw someone put it on the end of the filter, i think.

On the later trucks you'll have to do something with the filter minder, if it has wires going to it then it needs to stay. Mine didn't so it's gone. Someone on here had found a piece of tubing with a fitting for the filter already in it from the aftermarket somewhere...

Bingo, but the problem is on the newer trucks (02-03 I believe) the filterminder is a sensor of sorts- it has wiring going to it and if you run without it you set off some kind of light on the dash and store a code.
