Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance where do i fit the filter?

ok so after many minutes of crude cutting with a grinder i have made a good sized hole in my fenderwell where my CAI is going to be routed. I was pretty stoked...... Then i realised that i can not fit the filter down that hole to be placed on the end of the piping! Where the heck am i supposed to bring the filter in at without tearing off my black plastic in the wheel well, or cutting teh hole biger?

drop the splash shield in the front that runs from side to side. It's like a few bolts that hold it up. then pull it down and you can get the filter on without issue.
