it is located behind the block off plate in the furthest left grill opening.

The easiest way to install a grill is....

1. unplug the two sensors on the air-box and turbo inlet hose - move aside.
2. unclasp airbox lid retaining clips - remove airbox lid/filter element - set aside
3. with a firm grasp, wiggle and pull up on the airbox to remove from fender. Mounting is done with rubber plugs, so don't worry about bolts/screws.
4. remove lower air-box inlet hose from grill section.
5. install screen between grill inlet elbow and lower air-box inlet hose.
6. reassemble.

I did this when I found the carcass and full plumage of an adult blue-jay in my air-box on my last filter change. How it got in there... I will never know!

Or you could just do the V6 gasser airbox mod. I think it would be tough for a blue jay to end up in there for sure.
