I have the external filter but will loose the mounting on the intake when I put on Fenton exhaust and Edmunds intake. I'm thinking I would like to put a spin on mounted to the frame. Anybody have any suggestions? Can I just get a universal mount like out of Jegs and adapt the existing lines, if long enough?
