In the instructions, it shows you to mount it over motor mount (near the widow washer side) .. Its a bit confine there with the window washer unit being there..
So I mounted if in front of the motor mount.. in the pic you can see the pulley. (see image one thread above)
I did have to modify the bracket to accept the new location, by adding a mounting hole in the plate mounting bracket.
I used only one of the engine mount bolt holes.
The other bracket mounts to the engine, (where the engine lift bracket is located)
Hope that helps some...

When you install one of these dampers be aware that there is more vibration felt inside the vehicle. Mostly at lower RPM's, it's not untolerable, but may take a little getting used too. You will also have air filter fitment issues if running the CGS, but I do like the end results.....
As far as mods to make it fit, I went a little different than HVROD, I raised my washer bottle up about 1/4" for clearance issues and decided to "shim" the damper so it was parallel while offsetting the bracket to gain enough clearance. (last picture you can see new hole for washer bottle, and shims on the rear part of the damper)
HVROD.......What setting (mm) do you run yours at? I've got my on 12 (kinda rough for me) and I was going to try 13 or 14 to see the difference. Any comments or suggestions?

For your filter you could change to the K&N SN2540 (also has a 20 degree offsef flange end) that will let you retain the CGS intake, and give you a bit more room...

Mounting it there , I did find that I did get alot vibrations.. maybe the same you mention to me.. I've moved my damper to the front of the motor mount , using the existing motor mount as an anchor point/bolt on point.

With the 20 degree offset , you can rotate the filter a bit for additional clearance and positioning.
Hope this helps..
