I was at the neco zetec forum and i read about removing the bottom of the stock air box and getting the same results as a aftermarket intake. Is there any truth to this has any one tried it? http://www.fastcougar.com/forums/messageview.cfm?catid=48&threadid=44668

It is better then stock if that is what you are asking. It is not as good as an aftermarket intake.

I took the little filter box out of the air box and put it on the end of the pcv hose and let it hang there. But the top of the air box holding the filter keeps falling below were the air comes in from the fender.
