1. A method of forming a filter housing assembly, the method comprising:
providing a mount body that is defined by a bore that passes through the mount body;
forming a plurality of bosses on a radially outward oriented surface of the mount body and wherein at least one of the plurality of bosses is constructed to be able to provide a discrete flow cross-section from a range of flow cross-sections;
providing a cap that removeably and sealingly cooperates with a respective end of the bore of the mount body and shaping the cap to engage a filter to direct a fluid flow passed into the mount body from an opening associated with one of the plurality of bosses to another opening associated with another of the plurality of bosses; and
providing a filter sleeve that is constructed to removeably cooperate with another respective end of the bore of the mount body opposite the cap and support a filter so that the filter can be removed from the filter housing sleeve via passage of the filter through the bore of the mount body when the cap is removed therefrom and via removal of the filter sleeve from the mount body.
