PITA to remove the MAF from airbox, remove airbox, put back in, put MAF back in.

Don't forget the back clip by the engine and how easy it is to snap back into place.

Default Clips are very easy to snap back in if you take the airbox out. It's jiggling the damn thing out and

back in that's a PiTA.

Default I give them kudos... took 6/7 years for somebody to make a better one.

I love the fact that we can make decent power using the stock box... looks so unassuming.

I think the biggest PITA is removing the PVC plug from underneath the accordion hose!
