Thanks Gary and all...
I decided to just cut the fender side out of the stock air box and the bottom between the mounting bolts and up to the base of the filter.. I had an extra one so I can go back to stock if I don't like it. So far it's been fun having the intake noise, but we'll see if anything else like better mileage comes along for the ride.
I'm using an old style GREEN filter that's supposed to have better airflow so we'll see.
Thanks again.
