I am going to attempt the airbox mod found on the Trophy Yahoo site.  I will post pix.  Before I do anything I need a question answered: what do I use as an easily and affordable replacement for the filter?   I don't want to cut until I decide how to install the filter.

K&N makes a filter for the airboxes , it's like 45 bucks or so .

That is a little better than the US$70 for the air box, but not as good as I hoped.

at least it's reusable .....clean and reuse .....you can get cleaning and re oiling kits at auto zone or most anywhere K&N filters are sold

Of course, silly me.  I was thinking use, throw away, buy another.  K&Ns are reusable.  Much, much better.  Thanks.
