new to the board and new owner of 02X.

What are recommended intake mods starting with simple hand tool opening and filter?

Thanks.

The above list will set you back a few $$.

A cheap thing to do it this www.clubfte.com/users/monsta/airboxmod.html

No guarantee on any performance advantage though.

thanks for the info and welcome.

...looks like the snorkle was removed and a K&N stuck in front.

I have read that most that used the K&N went back to stock as they moved the power band up.

I though I ran across some threads around cutting a bigger hole in the snorkle.....any merit?

Just looking to give the snorkle a bit wider mouth and cooler air.

Thanks again....

V10 badges - Dealer

Window deflectors - ebay.

I orginally had cut the front of my stock air box off. Basically if you look down on it, you'll see just the black tip of the paper filter sticking out. So, guessin, I cut it right where the tapers stops (or begins, depending on your point of view.)

I had also done the Zoo-Dad mod to help funnel cool air in at speed.

Merits? Well it sounded a lot cooler at WOT!

It also was good for a minimal highway MPG increase.

Just a note, on the Banks Power Pack for the V10, they have a "normal" front airbox with a molded in snorkel. I'm not sure if there is a size difference but I have to think that if there was a huge gain (HP/TRQ) from opening the airbox, then those guys would've done it, IMHO.
