Yeah, it is a tight fit in there with what I think is part of the hood latch mechanism and isn't the horn in there too? But once you get the fender well lining back on you'll never know how it'* squeezed in there.

yep, 2 horns and some other stuff. Just enough room for that huge filter. Not going to be fun every time I have to clean it.

pretty easy to install once you realize where all the parts go. The instructions were ok but could be better. I'll make a photo diagram to show it in pieces. and how it goes together. The cell phone pics they use aren't that great.
