K&N qustion
Recently added the stage 1 kit on the car and the filter hits the drivers side fog light. I had to remove it on order to put on the stock bumper. Did anone else have this problem?

hmm ok. I didnt know that Mazsport Type kit put the filter there.

You should ask Scott or anyone in the Mazsport section for more information.

How about a differant filter size?

Or get some sheet metal and make a bracket for the fog light.

it's actually a decent location, get air blowing straight at it.

but the fact that you must remove the rebar for it is a kill.

You could fab up a new intake plumbing that sits under the cooling panel shroud.

Or switch to a shorter filter and see if you have room after that to put the fogs.

fabbing up the plumbing would seem like the best option. Just wonder what that would cost.

I think a 90 degree elbow and maybe a straight is all that would be needed. already have the filter and couplers to put it on.
