Yes, I did. I'll definitely ask for help if I need it.

KPM800 arrived on Saturday and I installed it yesterday. Install was not difficult at all. Took my car for a spirited drive and had no hiccups when revving it to 7,500 RPM on multiple occasions. The real test will be Aug 15th for my next track day.

Im running the KPM 1000 and love it where did you mount your fuel filter
There is a small hole on the fender just under the strut tower brace. I used one of the bolts to mount it there, but I will likely end up drilling 2 holes in the K member or strut tower brace to attach it there.

I sliced off the unused sound tube tab on the shock tower and made a simple bracket to mount the large Radium Filter. There's even a weld-nut and hole perfectly placed on the shock tower to aid installation. Access to the dip stick is maintained and the filter tucks under the cowl/strut brace. I don't like the idea of mounting the filter in a hot engine compartment but it's so practical compared to an underbody project plus my hood is vented and I feel a little more comfortable with the Russell braided fuel lines over the OEM style plastic plumbing.

That looks good. The mounting hole on my 2021 is horizontal. I don't think I have a vertical hole, but I'll look when I get home. Did you reinstall the K brace and strut tower brace?
