So basically is a stock box with a 1" wide slot cut in the side?
More or less. I mean you do get a larger intake tube that is hard plastic rather than the stock rubber. The box may be a little larger and does have the velocity cone design and a large filter with pre-filter sock which I added when I had the snorkel since it helps incase you do get some water in the box.
Like I said my oem air box, when removing, I broke off all the little feet on the bottom so I figured I already had the snorkel system, which no one will buy, why not see if I can just make it into a "cool air" and that only cost me $100 for the box and cover which isnt bad. In the end if I really want I can throw on my dented hood, swap boxes, and I can run the hood slug again.
Just ordered a spare filter, and also a cleaning kit for the intake.
