AFE Intake

[BimmerDude]

Hello, I just bought the Stage 1 cold air intake from Afe, it came with a breather filter? Does anybody know where this goes once I install the Intake? Thanks....

So I guess that the little filter is an breather filter and all I have to do is remove the hoses from the canister below the filter and replace the hole with the little filter? Is this correct or am I missing something? Please help?

I put that filter at the end of the hose because if you take off the rubber hose from the canister at the bottom the little filter will not fit.
In other words, disconnect the top of the hose(coming from the canister) from the original air filter housing, take off the plastic elbow that clips into the housing and place the extra filter right on the hose and tighten it with a hose clamp.

I just spoke to AFE, they just told me the same thing, LOL, good timing.... Thanks everyone, they also told me that the little filter stay's in the same area as the big filter. Just an FYI... Thanks again everyone...

Ok, installed the Intake, and let me tell you how easy and perfect everything went. Everything was a plug and play, thanks to the guys at AFE. Now lets get to the performance difference I felt right away. I don't understand why some people say they don't really feel a difference, but I do for sure, not only me, even my buddys that test drove before install, this thing really works, advice would be to get it, who ever wants one that is....
