Lets see you open that thing up man, or get a KKM.

I don't know how that cylinder type air box works but can't you just cut a BIG square hole instead of lots of little holes? It's kind of like a half-open air filter box.

why not just use a dremel, or heat gun with a knife and just cute it wide open?

look at what bill kemp has done, you can completely remove the front of the box and clamp the filter directly to the back half by tightening up the clamp tolerances a little bit

Just remember, when cutting holes in the stock air box or using an open element air filter, you run high risk of water injestion and more importantly, you are drawing in underhood air - really hot underhood air! Hot air leads to lower power, due to maximum compressed air/fuel charge prior to detonation. Basically, you get less modelcules of air into your cylinder. That is why you generally have a little more power in the winter.
