well everyone says that the bhaf will not fit using afe intake tube so what if i just replace the baffles with genos eliminator pipe and put the bhaf on the factory tube will i have the room and what other brackets will i need

thanks
sid

 

has anyone done this with Genos eliminator pipe for removing the baffelsbut keeping the stock 90 degree elbows and removing the stock air box and attaching the bhaf and is thier mounting requirements to hold in place the bhaf

thanks
sid

 

Is this what you're describing?

 

exactley thanks and any problems with supporting the filter or rubbing that i should be aware of and any reason you dont have an outerware cover

thanks
again
sid

 

As far as supporting, it just sits in there. It can't go anywhere! I remember it was kinda rubbing on a biggish wire/cable but I just moved it. It probably should have an Outerwear on it but I hadn't gotten around to getting one...and it's been on there two years! It's gettin' pretty dirty...'bout time for another one or a Whistler.

 

How many miles on it? Two years seems like a long time on an air filter. But if they're good for extended mileage, they could save you $$.

I bought a used BHAF from a member here, but I didn't like the way it sat there with no support. I was going to sell it, but if you have no issues, maybe I'll install it.

 

I can't see that much difference half a year could make, I have an 04.5 witha n afe toruque tube mouted on the turbo, and on the other end a bhaf, 2790. with an outerwears cover I might add....... Might have to get ya a pic since I don't have one, if ya wanna see it, I guess I could take one.

 

the bhaf 42790 has the best efficiency rating of all practicle filters and flows well because of its size so thanks for the practical install ideas and any on a bracket to hold the filter

thanks sid

 

I just sent you a PM.

 

well we're in luck, good day for pics and I didn't fall off my truck takin the shot !

ok is that the 42790 bhaf i thought everyone said that using the afe torque tube that it would not fit so thats why is was looking at the other option i would really appreciate the how too from the guy who used the afe torque tube

and how did you get the little monitoring system hooked up

thanks
sid

 

42790 is either a napa or wix number equiv of the 2790. I just drilled a hole for the IAT sensor to just barely fit in, and then used two self tappers into the tube, not hard, only tight spot is the battery bracket, trimmed for clearance, not a big deal, work on a cold motor or ya might burn yourself bad

 

thanks guys the BHAF is the best filter for filtration over all others and the size flows as good as any so its the way i have been wanting to go on the 05 i have the afe stage 2 and stock on the 07 and want to switch both to the BHAF so from what i see here i can do both thanks again everybody

 

Is the turbo whistle as loud as an afe or other intake with the BHAF. I have one on my 2nd gen and its not as loud as the 3rd gen with an afe.

 

Mine isn't very loud, and I've taken out my silencer ring. It only really sings when boost goes up under load. Though I've been thinking about a 6-inch system for more whistle, I think it might become annoying towing so I just ordered a new BHAF from my local parts guy.
