Default What can be used for a procharger filter?

What are you guys using for a procharger filter? I got a used kit that did not come with the filter assembly. They sell for $160 and I'm looking to make/ buy something similar for cheaper. Any ideas or suggestions would help.

It's a D1 for an LT1.

I have a filter but I need to reroute it. There is no room to bolt it up to the head unit itself.

hahaha yes my friend, welcome to the largest pain in the *** for your blower setup. factory procharger uses a "dryer vent flex hose" and the cone filter just kinda hangs above the steering rack. i personally ditched this setup and made a "custom" intake with a silicon elbow out of the blower, from 4 to 3 inch reducer i believe, to a 3inch 90* steel exhaust 90 to draw air from the area the moroso intake pulled air from. id take pictures, but they wouldnt do you any good, as its crammed in tighter then well, you already know.

160 for the intake tube is cheap, with all the silicon boots, and hours spent doing it, its worth it.

If my buddy was further along with his p600b setup and didnt need some of piping as hes making the kit work in his S10. Im sure alot of the piping would be of no use as most of it will be custom. He had a heck of a time tracking down used Procharger parts to complete the kit before he sold his camaro and decided on doing a lt1 s10 swap.
