Fast Times!!
TrickBlaster'03 asked me for some info regarding this...it came from my old web page. Kinda cutting and pasting here.
I like the airbox because of the water crossing, mud and heavy dust we run through in the woods.. So, here goes.
If you'll look at the top of your stock airbox you can tell by the picture what I did. A spiral cutting bit works great to punch thru the plastic and make a smooth cut.

From this view, you can tell that I left the "channel", and opened up the airbox inlet about 4 times the original size. For such a nice foam element, the stock air intake hole is tiny.

I have to admit that in order to open up the air intake as much as I did, I had to remove the... well, splash guard for lack of a better word. So I cut a new one out of a piece of plastic I had laying around. I riveted it into place and sealed around the edges with silicone.
One of the coolest and unsuspected things I noticed about the airbox change was the new sounds that came out from under the gas tank. It sounds much more commanding now. Enjoyable, and no howl either!
