There should not be any interference other than the close exposure to the header pipes which looks like they would heat up the filter itself quite a bit, but hell, thats the way they designed it.
Is that car front wheel drive?


The only place the fittings can come out is toward the bell housing. I had the exhaust manifolds ceramic coated inside and out, in addition to ceramic coated heat shields.

I never did like that filter where it sat...put it up there with the windshield water bottle. It's all reversible if that's a concern, and I think it would compliment your engine compartment.

I have a supercharger in the stock water bottle location... The bottle had been modified to fit on the other side, and a water injection accumulater will be mounted over there too. I used to have an AMSOIL remote/bypass filter (2 filter - 1 bypass, 1 full flow) and I didn't like it. I lost all kinds of oil pressure which I think helped aid in a spun bearing.

Bat/Mocal makes spacers and Eric at Bat may have a small spacer for me. I just need 1" or so to give clearnce, but not extend the filter too much. I REALLY do not want a remote filter.

I don't really like the location either, but it's not difficult to change and I don't drive it too much, so there's not too many oil changes needed.
