Good afternoon all,

I just picked up my Nappa filter to do my intake and took out the top portion of the factory air box. I tried to just sit the filter in place but found that the bottom of the box sits too high and the hood seems to hit the filter. Just need that ½ inch more of the factory box. I have read that some guys take the whole air and battery box out. I did not get that far yet but by taking the battery box out will the battery still be held in the same position and mount. I really don’t want to ruin the factory box in case I want to sell it with stock parts. Any suggestions?

The back half splits off and unbolts from the inner fender. The battery tray and battery cover stay.

Great thats what I needed to know. Went out and looked still can't see it wher it splits, will go at it in the AM. I did find while rushing to put it back together before work and I forgot to plug the filter minder plug back in LOL It's Gone.

YOu will most likely need to cut part of the bottom of what is left of the air box out. On mine there was no split.

Mine slpit in two pieces. Maybe they changed something on your year. Mine is a 2000 like the other guy whose split also.
