Default Vortex Air Box Backwords?

Hey guys ---first post so I'll make it a dumb question.

I have a 99 FRC with Vortex Ram Air....The bottom of the air box has the scoop facing up not down towards the front. It looks backwords to me...I'm just wondering if it was installed right and should I turn it around so the scoop is facing down and forward.....any pics would help.
The installation pics on Breathless Performance arent clear enough to see.

Also, what is the easiet way to take out the filter to clean it.
Thanks

I don't have a pic, but scoop should be in rear of box pointing down and to front.

---thats what I thought --it should be facing front to scoop up the air---not sure if the previous owner put it that way for a reason or just did it wrong ...Maybe it will work more like it was designed now thanks.
