Your airbox should have a panel on the wing side that just unclips and leaves a dirty gurt hole for some wicked growling!

 

I normally chop out a large rectangle from the wing side of the air box with an angle grinder, no seriously! Obviously after removal of the air box.

 

Just take out the front pipe and the lumpy box on the wing side like I did to my one, then at least you can put them back afterwards.

Yep pannel and snorkel was removed on mine too, loud enough

 

without the snorkel won't it suck to much hot air?

 

Bodger, I used an airsaw

 

You're both pussies, you should have got out the plasma cutter

 

Imagine that! - "Gary whats the molten mess on the floor?"

"Errr my airbox" [:^(]

 

Unless you have got a really highly tuned engine and are going for ultimate bhp, it ain't going to make that much difference, it isn't a turbo car.

 

And once you're rolling you'll be getting pretty much ambient temps in that location anyway.
