I use the arospeed cai system. They stopped making them, but still sell the parts, and you see them on ebay every once in a while. They use a large k&n filter.

Now that is unique. I have neevr seen, nor thought of anything like that. That seems like it would seriously increase the risk of hydrolock though. Either way, looks cool.

Also, I tried removing the airbox and tube that goes to the fender.. but i didnt realize you have to remove the fusebox to get the tube out. Besides unbolting the fusebox, what wires and crap do you have to disconnect to get it out, and is it easy or complicated? Just disconnect a plug or something?

Well the risk of hydrolock is really low unless you go submerge the inlet. you're not going to get enough vapor in the intake to ever lock the engine.

as for removing the airbox and everything you need to remove the visible assembly up top, remove the fusebox (and i found it easier with the battery removed too) then you need to open up the wheel well and under-body to get the lower box out. after that you can do what you want with it pretty much
