For many people, they remove the battery in order to get the intake through.

I was being stubborn with mine and didn't want to remove the battery and it was close to impossible not to damaged the filter forcing it through that little space so I decided that I didn't want to damage the filter and found an alternative method.

I took the pipe and filter and guided it through the bottom of the bumper. It easily travels through there. I highly recommend doing it this way rather than removing the battery.

 

hehe, i just moved the battery back a little and forced it through, i bent 2 of the mesh rib things about 1cm but it was worth not moving the battery.
