someone suggested cutting the front and side off the stock airbox to allow more cold air in. dumb i know. but would it do anything besides make it easier to hydrolock/

i would think it would let in more hot air off the motor. Other than that and the hydrolock risk, i don't think it'll hurt anything.

The offroad dirt bike racers used to cut holes in the box for desert racing, etc. and duct tape over them for water proofing when necessary. I think we had someone who wanted the "sucking sound" of a aftermarket intake even though it wouldn't improve performance, cutting the box would help with the sound part and wouldn't cost $200+ bucks.

so it would basically be like adding a cone filter to the stock hose, give a sucking sound and let in more moisture and dirt. i'll pass :wink:
