I went ahead and dug in to mine last night, 30 mins later i had revoved the Silencer box, cut an opening and installed my K/N. This was was one of the easiest silencer removals ever. most cars have them bolted to the car inside of the fender. this one is just atteched to the bottem of the air box, just needs some twisting and lifting to come out and then 2 pushs with a flat head to pop off the silencer.
I hear the intake more, spooling. and now you can hear the BOV/BPV but not loudly.
