Noob Question (Airbox Related)

Hello everyone, please excuse me for the noob question, but how do i get to the filters inside the airbox? Do I remove all the screws around the airbox? or take the airbox out and open it up from the bottom of it?
Thanks in advance

Pull of the cover with the star on it

Next pull out the intake pipes

Last grab the air box and just pull it off from the engine with your hands



There are star shaped screws all around the box. Take them out and open up the box

Thanks a lot, the amount of crud and bugs that were in the box was appalling. And the filters need replacing. Time for afe's

I wonder how the renntech box looks like inside.... Are you gonna get the afe filters? I'm going to do cone filters, I'm having my friend fabricate a heat shield right now. The reason why I wanted the cone ones is for the noise it makes. If you go with the afe dry filters, let us know if you notice a difference in sound.

I'll definitely update you on the sound difference, but I'm just doing it to get all the cheap modifications out the way (tune, 2nd cat/res delete, filters) then onto finding a renntech airbox and headers
