nothing wrong with the cowl, just got to be smart and make sure you have good drainage and after heavy 4wheeling to check the condition. would be the same with an air box.

Has to have a a 3" inlet, and I think the max diameter of the base is like 5"

Try aem I love mine granted I have a regular cai but they do make smaller filters that would work
