Just cut a lage hole in the bottom so it sucks fresh air from fender area..you can even run some flex tube to the fog lamp area for a ram air effect.

Hopefully with a retune i will see some gains
But as of now running on my old tune it slowed down 4mph and 4tenths
I'm sure its all jacked up because its bringin in a lot more air than it thinks.. With a retune it should make a big difference I would think

Where can you just get the tube going from tb to filter? Is there any gain making it out of 4" tube?

Here's how I did mine. Cut it as much as possible. I also cut the steel bracing underneath, as much as I could without affecting it's strength, anyway. I use a Fram AirHog air filter and an Airaid intake tube. Works great as per my datalogs.

As you can see in Pic#1, I can turn the angle of the horn, then I beep the horn for an extra 2rwhp, LMAO!

I wish I could do that, Id be afraid of getting my filter wet in the mud/streams out on some of the land I drive on.
