.....I looked at it again...You right....I think I got the same pot in my kitchen...I would never have thought about using it as a housing...

Well close. It's a strainer from a outdoor turkey fryer that I won like 12 years ago. Never used the strainer and measured it and wow worked out. Had to cut 5 inch hole in the end and shorten the pot 2 inches. On the edges that i cut went to part store and bought the chrome door edge trim $2.99 to cover the hole and the end that I cut. Did not have enough left over to cover the slot I cut out where the cold air vent from the factory air filter hits it so I used tape on that edge but no one see it .On the back end its open but sits against the fender. I took a 1 inch metal strap and screwed it across the back to keep the filter in place. You can see 1 of the screws for that on the back edge of the pot above the slot I cut out. Took 2 screws and on the fender lip attached the pot so it would not move. To change filter have to take off tube running to turbo and the 2 screws on the fender lip. Then the 2 screws that goes across the back. Not a lot of work to change. But will not have to do that very often .

Now all the hot air from the engine can get in through all those holes.

Only like 6inches of the filter sits out in the engine bay. Most of the filter sits back in the fender. The back of the filter sits against the fender. I cut a slot in the air housing where the out side air vent from the factory air box hits. Hoping to get some outside air to the filter.Well I will see how it works if seems not better will put the old back in.

I cut holes in my stock air box. When it is hot out AND I am pulling hard, I duct tape them. Up here in the north, I just wish I had to keep the tape on more often. Just picked up a mig and am going to do something better for a bhaf. It won't be pretty but it should work!
