Well I think what I'm going to do is cut the pipe so where I could stick on the filter, and it would be a short ram, in the rainy season. And when not, I will stick on the bypass valve, and the rest of the pipe, for cold air again. That should do it.

or heres a godo example of that breather valve. take a straw and poke holes all over half way up, submerge it completely at the bottom and suck hard. even the milwaukee brewers dont suck hard enough to get fluid up that straw.

How wold you guys prop it up if I were to cut it into a short ram in between the sticker and the bend in the pipe?
Because me cutting it between the sticker and the curve would remove the parts thats holding it up... How are usual Short rams braced? And how would I go about doing this?

i got this bent little metal bit that i ended up bolting under the a arm bolt and slipping under the rubber sleeve in the middle:
you cant see the mount in this picture, but i think you get an idea of what i mean.
if you do cut the tube make sure to sand the lips down a bit so you dont cut the dickens out of your hand next time you take it apart.
*edit* actually you can kinda see it if you look close, its on the front side of the strut tower.
