Anyone removed the stock filter yet? Looking for DIY on how to open the airbox
I was looking in my engine bay and could see how to remove the four silver clips, but was unsure how to release the circled clip in the picture.
Anyone able to share some info here to help me out? I've a BMC filter on its way and wanted to get my head around this. |

No problem. Just losen the silver clips by pushing them down (they keep in place) en pull up the circled clip at the front. Then smoothly pull up the topside and you can take out the paper OEM filter and slide in the high flow filter, like I did with a K&N cotton filter.

I realised how to do it a couple of weeks ago after my filter turned up and I had a crack at it. Forgot to update my OP - negative interwebs points for me BMC filter is a nice aural addition, though |
