I like the new sound of the engine now. Sounds great. AS for removing the vent I did research on it but it seems there is now easy way to get it off...I guess I'm lucky I only broke one clip
If you still have the broken clip you can repair it. If I remember correctly you can use actone to weld it back together, if tha doesn't work use CA glue. then get some 2 part epoxy to build around it for some extra support. of course put the epoxy in areas that won't interfere with reinstallation.
