Getting to the Air Filter??
I wanted to see what was going on in there, air intake wise, so I looked at the manual (unhook a wire, release two snaps,then open) , and did what it said, but the air filter housing just doesn't seem to budge. I can get it only open about a inch! Ceratinly it doen't just come off in your hands easily. Anyone done it? What is the trick?
It looks like there is a whole bunch of wires and tubes and of course the big flexible pipe so it resists being open as the manual states.

hehehehehehe, I took all the plastic covers off but that one, couldn't figure it out!
Although it didn't occur to me to look in the manual, and I didn't try very hard, just released the clips and yeah, seems tough. At least my air filter is covered with this new "plan"
Hey I wonder if they cover, flush coolant too. I guess they would have too, COOL!

Have you seen this or are we talking two different things?

Pic has cover next to bumper removed showing some intake air split/valve assembly with flex air tube going to left. But it is the big black cover with snaps there at the top that I can't get off.

need to loosen up the hose going to the box and then put a little muscle into the pull and off it will come, a performance shop took mine out last week to fabricate an air intake pipe and filter. Should be ready Monday, can't wait to see how it feels.
