Dammit! I have a Vortech S trim with a boost pipe. The K&N filter hangs low in the front fender hole. It fell off this weekend and I ended up driving home without a filter on. It wasnt for very long, prolly a few miles. What damage, if any, can that cause that I would notice or could check for? It runs fines with no noticable symptoms right now.

well, that is worse since your running boost and the fins of the charger are at stake, though i highley doubt you comprimised anything.
Ima say for sure that your fine so that if something is wrong you can be mad at me and not yourself

LOL, thanks. I checked the fins, they seem fine and it runs fine, so hopefully all is good.

You're fine. My filter is so tightly packed in there with the inner fender splash guards and w/not I wouldn't think it could just fall off! Get a T-bolt clamp and roll the lip of the filter-maf bracket outwards, that should hold it

The filter can easily fall out of the fender well...
