When removing the stock airbox you just have to remove all the hoses and you can then remove the entire box without removing the top of the airbox first. I post this because a friend recently said "Hey..." upon watching me remove mine and I thought that's how everyone did it

Saves you from cracking the keepers on the side of the lid as now I only actually open the box when the filter needs service.

 

Hmm... Good info!

 

yeah, i cracked mine the first time i took it off...dont have the stock one anymore though

 

Ditto .

Manute is just a fount of knowledge. Look forward to tearing **** up (or maybe just tearing up cones) with ya in auto-x next season....SCCA does allow phone books on the seats, right?

 

Hindsight is always 20/20.. Oh well, Apex is on the way...

 

I'd wondered if that could be done. I notice I never quite seat the upper lid properly with the lower mounted in the chassis. Is it easier or more difficult to get the primary intake hose on when putting the whole hose monster back together? Anyway, thanks for the tip!
