tight fit

I installed the CGS intake /outlaw filter today. Talk about your
tight fit !!! The filer is up against everything.I hope the thing does not get a hole in it. It is only loud when your foot is in it.

Yes...it's a pretty snug fit. You might want to put a piece of foam behind where the filter rests behind the car. It will keep it from banging against the inside of the car and making a thumping noise. I don't have one on mine...but I've got it wedge in there pretty good and am not having any noise issues.

Thanks Deb
Mine is in real tight. I don't think there is room for foam ! I'll go out today and look it over.

Also to elimanate some thudding sound, make sure the Filter is slid up all the way on the intake. Mine was knocking on the bottom on a stud.

Had the same problem, thought I did something wrong. Took it apart and still had a knocking sound. Then I "smashed" the filter up more and no noise or movement.

I have had the outlaw on for about a week and like the way it preforms so far. As a matter of fact I think the outlaw went on smoother than the filter that came with it. But that could be cause I knew what I was doing.
