Smart move. I could not believe how small the stock airbox opening is. Only about one sq inch! Mine really sounds better with the new airbox. Almost sounds like 2 big ol 4 barrel carbs when I get on it.

Other people must have a poor fit on their hood, because I've driven mine in the pouring Texas rain, washed it with a hose, sprayed it down real quick when out of town at a DIY car wash and I have never had a drop of water get on the exposed filter. I personally think the hood seal is the single most over-rated, most genius thing anyone ever made a ton of money on........
FWIW.....
