Trim the defending areas a bit more so you have more room

Can't you rotate the 90degree elbow so the filter points upwards a bit and lifts away from the hose?

@Octoparrot tried this but the cone's weight just drops it :thinking:

cant lift it up anymore as it already hits the bonnet lid

If you're worried about the filter rubbing against the pipe and causing damage then just get some electrical tape and go round the pipe loads of times.

I had this with my old ram air and sorted it.
