We
are doing our homework, Joe -- it's just that we prefer to do our homework together. Many hands make lighter lifting, and if I can learn from or with someone else, it's a more enjoyable experience. Forums like these facilitate the experience. If you'd like to help, we'd love to hear from you. But would be lots easier to listen if you weren't so hostile.
Ah, I see; that's an interesting plan. Does the bell unscrew from that end of the SIR? The explosion diagram implies that it does, but none of the drawings show threads on any of those surfaces.
The cone filter I run has a steel base and I'm pretty sure it's glued to the foam of the filter. It slips into the intake air pipe and fastens with a pipe clamp, then just hangs there. I can get some Samco silicon tube and a bend, and make it shorter--or maybe use a 45-degree elbow and let the length of the restrictor do the rest of the distance.
But I don't see how I'd fasten the filter to either the bell end or the hose end; the aluminum filter won't deform and seal in a pipe clamp, and the bell end can't be fastened to the steel base of the cone filter.
Maybe I'll end up with a three-inch coupler between them. I'll have to take some measurements when the car comes back from the body shop tomorrow.
If you'd care to recommend another supplier, Chris, I'm all ears.
