I just put in a cone filter and you kno how the air box spilts into two peices...well I got the left part off, but the right side of box is still there. I took out the 3 screws that were inside the right side air box, but it wont budge. So can I even take this out?

after taking out the 3 screws, it should be able to rotate, but not slide out. what you have to do is this: there is a circular opening that the box will be able to rotate around. with the exception of the 3 screws, this is all that holds the right side of the box on. if you look carefully, you will see that the box has the hole, and there is a tube that goes into it with 3 flanges or protrusions that keep it locked in. you need to bend them inwards towards the center of the hole. then the box will be no longer held on and you can slide it out.

be patient, it was a biatch for me to remove also. overall it took me 15 min to figure it out and work it off. i used 2 flat head screw drivers to pry those tabs inwards.

Speaking of that tube, does ne1 know where that leads to? I tried to trace it but I didn't have enough lighting in my garage to find where it ends.

I think it just goes to the underside of the fender.
