Looks very nice! Notice any change in performance? How is the noise?

Best,
Bill

I could tell maybe a small performance boost.As far as the sound it reall doesnt make any since its so in-closed still.I really did it just for the look and something to do and it does make it easier to see if the filter needs cleaning.In the link above it will tell you how it is done and its very easy to do.

Pretty much yes.I just cut all of the top off and then sanded all the cut marks to make them smooth.Then I messured the hole and bought a peace of very thin pleaxy glass that was cut to fit.I then used 2 sided tape on the edges and set the pleaxy over the air box hole.I then drilled out all the holes and then put the screws in.Make sure you drill the holes big enough for the screws or you will crack the pleaxy.Also make sure you have a nice and tight fit around all the edges so there is no leaks.
Thats pretty much it,It didnt take long and it was kinda fun.The wife is calling me,Time to go.Laters
