Ok all here are some pics of the install. I will make up the DIY down the road. If any questions please PM me.
Packaged product
I like the way it came out but I am going to modify the filter end so I dont have the large loop. Maybe add and extension to that nipple or longer nipple.
Anyway, the product is very well made (machined) and the hoses and connections appear properly installed. I have never worked with AN fittings before, so I did some research on torque requirements etc... Do not over tighten.
As seen in the pics, I left my oil filter plate in place and stacked the cap on top. It all fit well. I tried to not scratch the cap and hose ends at the engine using shop rags but was not working. You cant see that end anyway.
Like I said at the top, PM me if you have any questions.

I zoom therefore I am.
if you had turned your mounting location 90 degrees counter clockwise wouldnt the fittings have both been angled down negating the need to change the fittings?
otherwise it looks really nice

You gave me an Idea Laythor. I am going to take the top (looped hose) and pass it under the Air Pump bracket and up to the nipple. What do you think I got so tired of trying to find a spot that worked I just wanted to get it installed. Not much to go on here in the 8 club, I looked (searched) a long time.
Ya Think? Thats a long way back. Got the spare, Nox - not yet, Subwoof - maybe?

I hear you. So when you do yours and find the prime spot, take some pics and let us all know. Maybe in the void of the Air Box? I dont have an after market CAI.

Although you won't see the beauty of the unit.
Ideally, functionally you can mount it lower facing down so oil changes are even easier as well.

I was looking to buy one from summit too. Did the filter come with one filter element? I was going to but a 6-pack of refills and a seal kit at the same time. Total would have been about $150 if I remember correctly. With 6 filters I would be set for the next 5 years
