yes i did for awhile you just need to trim the top of the fan even more.... i ran it like this until i got an ecs bracket then i needed to upgrade to the spal fan setup to fit a 4" intake.

Thanks ,
Did it look ok? I will upgrade to better fans later but my car is kind of a money pit it the moment, looking to spread out spending a bit.
