yeah, do like the pic shows above. You just remove your air filter lid and cut a big hole in it so that the K&N filter is exposed to the air, allowing you to use ALL of the filter and get the most air in you can.

This is a lid for a LT-1 but the L-98 is the same idea.

Start with this:



Remove this:



End up with this:




I used a dremel on mine. Some have said they used tin snip, a hacksaw, what every you want. I bought a used lid from RedRocket (thanks again) and cut it myself. Saved my original in case I wanted it later.
