Running the BMR brace on mine, it won't be comfortable over the air filter, you'll have to make slight adjustments to rotate the filter and inlet tube down close to the cam cover. I'll post a current pic of the engine bay where I have relocated my air filter entirely, and I'll go dig up an old one with the filter where you have yours currently and the brace on, just gotta find it:

Yeah your filter is way lammed down there, i could do that but it would crush the fuel line. In that first picture where exactly do you have the filter routed to?? maybe ill take this path
