The seal shouldn't be a problem after a week try to pull them apart! This is the second filter on mine and when I tried to replace it I was very apt to loose my religon as I tried to get them apart the seal from the 4" 90 to my air filter was so tight I cut the end of the old one open to pound...
bear..
did you notice any performance increase at all with that setup and where did you get the filter to put in there.
Just a lot more turbo whistle:D :sweet :thumbs
