You better put a bypass valve in the pipe to guarantee not sucking in water.

You need first find out what diameter pipe are you going to use then do a search for the size of bypass valve on ebay.

Pull out the 2 tubes

and take the back of the hole cover and pull toward you
the 4 clips will unclip (Can't brake these)
the 2 part will come as one

I shot gun the airbox if you sell
