Pic of removed airbox?

[sparker]

Hi guys,

I am planning on making my own airbox and would like to know if anyone has any pictures of the stock unit after its been removed?

Failing that, are there any hints/tips on how to remove it? I have heard that you have break it to remove it?

Thanks,
Sam

I can get you a picture of mine tonight (27 Oct) when I get back from work.

These are the rest.

Actually looks kinda restrictive. The air flows inthrough the snorkle up to the top of the box, then down through the filter and out through the MAF. Makes two 90 degree turns at minimum and no clear path. Maybe an intake isin't such a bad idea. Anyone else disagree?

Thanks for the reply, but I have safely removed my air box now and have completed my carbon intake project.

Very happy with the results too!

Cheers,
Sam

There are only 2 ways of getting the air box out intact (that I know of) 1. remove the intake or just loosen it on that side or 2. drop the engine an inch or two by loosening the front motor mount (4 bolts to the chassis) put a jack under the engine first (not a bottlenose or you will punch a hole in the case unless you put a block of wood in between) drop it down without disconnecting the coolant lines (same procedure for changing the front motor mount) and then you can remove the air box intact.

Yep - took it out complete, undid the left side intake and also a bit of the power steering system.

Sounds daunting, but really wasnt that big of a deal.
