Default Swissing airbox

Just got done Swissing my airbox.

SOUNDS GREAT!! you can hear the whistle of the intake.

I want a K&n so it flows better

Took me like 5 minutes.

Best (free) mod ever.

Probably not the best mod in terms of performance. You have just taken and allowed hot engine bay air to be pulled into the intake which is counter productive. The stock intake pulled fresh air from behind the headlight.

hopefully he saw all of that mentioned before, and put his holes in the right area(s) to avoid a lot of that (inner fender basically)

That was why i wanted to see some pics

Not necessarily. Air flows a LOT better than water does.

If you got a stock airbox submerged, water's getting in anyway right? I don't see a problem other than the extra hot air that Kyle mentionned.

double post kyle.lol

my point is like you said it allows hot air in. and also leaves more room for other things to get in.

pic was just to show an example of water getting in.
