Well I definitely want it higher then the engine compartment. If i were to not use the intake I would go up to the top of the snorkel with a little filter. But I think keeping the hoses under the hood would more professional and neet. I actually just my new inline air filter from PRM.

and the plastic that surrounds the filter itself is quite thick and I think would be a great piece to plumb into. I believe if a barb is tapped in and then glued and then the hose put on and clamped it would be pretty solid. I'll get some pictures up when I take some.

Keep the ideas coming. Thanks
