some are pretty basic looking and you could fab something up at home , like this one used as a roof cap

Yes, that's similar to the one I posted previously. I'm going to have to do some measuring to see how much clearance I'm going to have when the grill is mounted. I may have to modify the airhorn or just mount the larger disc like you said. I found one of those vents with a 4" pipe which is also the size of the filter opening so in theory, I could probably also remove the airhorn all together and attach it to the filter to gain some clearance. Honestly, I think the disc will be the simplest.
