Thanks for all the feedback, I think the remote filter is a great idea, I am surprised the factory doesn't make it that way.

NinexRep, since you have the exact same car, with the factory install, the filter can be taken off with just the small gap before it hits the frame? I bought the strap removal type filter wrench so I could get it around the filter, hopefully it is not welded on.
