Your air box is a little different being 00+. There'* a chunk that acts like a baffle that we pulled out of Haileys car and the difference was noticable. Also I'd suggest a K&N drop in filter to go with that gutting.

I used a dremel with a cutting wheel on a lower speed to try and not melt the plastic. Then cleaned it up with a sanding wheel. It'* easy enough, once you determine how much and where you are going to cut out.

It lessens the amount of baffling that the air needs to go through to get to the throttle body. By doing so, it allows the engine to pull more in quicker than allowed with the airbox intact.
