For those who want to keep the stock look, but have additional advantages of more air flowing into your airbox.
This mod really requires the addition of an RA intake $150 and a K&N Panel filter $120. The additional parts cost $10.
Start by taking off the OEM smaller snorkel, radiator top panel and install your K&N. That much you should be able to do without pics, I am hoping!
Clean well with spirit.
Once you have your radiator top plate off, make a template for your 'ski-ramp' out of cardboard.
Now, cut out the required piece out of light-gauge aluminium.
Get the appropriate shape, by rolling on a full bottle of coke or similar shape container. Then affix using your desired adhesive or mechanical attaching means.. (I used Sikaflex).
View from front left unpainted.
View from side showing ramp-effect to take air directly from front to enlarged intake.
Now cut out the radiator top panel (small slots) into a large rectangle shape, leave open or place expanded aluminium mesh behind for effect. You can easily cut this with a stanley knife, use a steel ruler to get really straight lines. Also you can use hot glue or sikaflex to adhere the expanded mesh to the back of the radiator top plate.
