Alright well i did this DIY today and its really simple
Tools needed:
Dremel and cutoff wheel (Makes it go quick), I hacksaw may work im not sure
10mm socket and socket wrench with extension
Phillips head screw driver
Approximate time:
15-30 minutes
Here is what it looks like before i started, everybodys should look like this
This is after i pulled the bottom half of the box out, you wont touch the top cover because that has to stay tight with the air filter in the end so it won't suck contaminates into the engine
This is the two parts after i cut it with the dremel, like i said earlier the dremel makes it go really quick so i would suggest using one.. As you can see all you do is cut around the very top but go around the three mounting points, making the bottom one look more like a bracket, there are only two bolts, the bottom one just slides over the little nipple thing so it wont move around.. (Yea as you can tell my filter was extremely dirty. gotta love the desert..)
I trimmed it up a little bit more and just took some sand paper to the edges to smooth them up a bit and here's the finished product
Here it is installed back in the car
Yes that filter is dirty but i replaced it about thirty minutes after the pic was taken
From the top it looks OEM still but at WOT it sounds all kinds of deep
plus you get some more air into the engine.. the top half still bolts up just like it did before.
Here is the extra parts.. I just took off the two tubes that connected to the intake box but this weekend im going to take out the rest of the tubes and the useless air box thats behind the bumper on the passenger side..
Hope this helps guys,
