mod
it's where you take the stock airbox lid off and use zip-ties to hold down the air filter,basically opening up the entire front of the air intake.wish i could explain it better.

50 large for a car and you are wanting to use zip ties?
If you can't afford a new REAL intake, perhaps you should rethink your purchase.

guard
[IMG][/IMG]much safer to just trim down the covers to match the filter height (see my vette photos for an example). but whatever you do DO NOT REMOVE the rain guard for any prolonged period of time. the hood leaks and water will enter the stock filter cans and collect then get sucked into the engine for a nice steam cleaning, if your lucky, or a good ole' hydrolock, if your not. thanks for the HELPFUL info.

Zip tie mod on the C5s came pretty close to yielding the gains that some real intakes did.
