K&N on stock pipe/tube support?

[NVR2LATE]

Does anyone have this set up? Two questions.

1. Intake now just hangs off the BOV like a limp @#%! and leans on the radiator overflow bottle...because I have the stock pipe/tube with no rigidity. Has anyone made a support or creative idea to keep it from hanging any bouncing around? Or no issue with it just hanging there?

2. Is there any additional modification to the air duct that comes in from the wheel well/fender? Or should I route it somehow to maximize air flow? I have seen the cold air set ups people have done once the side intercooler is swapped out, but hadn't found anything about this particular piece.

I always use the search function and google prior to asking anything , so please be gentle if I did not type the correct search parameters.

It will be fine hanging like that. The BOV hose is pretty damn sturdy.

Since you are mostly stock, you won't benefit from the time and effort to do some effective ducting with what you got right now (SMIC in place). You would, however, benefit from isolating the filter from the rest of the engine bay and reduce your IATs.

Thanks. I will work on that isolation. Any suggestions or preferences on material to use for the "box"?

Awesome! I was looking for that part of his project. Was just looking at part 2 building the duct to the front.

Now I have tomorrow's project laid out.
