5". how the heck are you going to fit a 9" filter in that space?

[celicaryan]

I never took the bumper off in person so I don't actually know how big is the space... but when I saw the last picture in this thread and thought a 9" filter would fit...

There's barely any room in there for even the 5" filter. Some people have even had them crushed a bit due to how cramped it is.

stick with the 5" there's no way a 9" is going to fit in that small space.

Thanks for the info, I just bought the 5" one... thanks again

With the AEM one, dry or oiled, 5" is crammed, but a lot better than a 9". I had to insert the filter over the tube quite a bit down just to get it to sit right.

Tip: Play around with the fitment of the filter, you'll find the right amount sooner or later.
