about the filter drooping, you should rotate it every so often. It is
not necessarily the heat causing the droop, but possibly the weight of
the filter. I rotate my filter every so often and it hasnt touched
anything. You could also just loosen the upper hose clamp on the TB
inlet and rotate the pipe a little so that the filter sits higher off
the horn. Hope it works...let me know...Tony D
