I thought it may be a little big, but it's only 10 in out from center. Sometimes I get into heavy brush and find a small tree lurking inside. Plus I have new Skyjacker coils on it. It gets the job done, m8000 warn fits nicely inside.

technically it isn't cold air unless you pull it from outside the engine compartment. regardless it's just a spectre air filter i picked up for $20 at autozone. i trimmed the intake off the old air box and removed it. then slipped new filter on. then to prevent as much splash up as possible canabalized the old air box to protect the under side of the filter
