Use Google for all searches, works much better.
You'll flip your lid when you see it. Badum. OK bad joke... but you essentially use zip ties to hold a now open element filter with a removed lid.

There are a couple similar mods, but a little different. They are the Zip-Tie mod and Flip-Tie mod.
The Zip tie method simply removes the cover and zip ties the air filter in place. The link MAC5 gave is a pretty good write up.
The Flip tie method turns it over and cuts a hole in the shroud to get a cold air (possibly forced air) to the filter.
Take a look at the following links for the flip tie.

The first link also has an attached pdf file that can be downloaded.
Good luck.
