That lip you're cutting is what's holding the filter element on. It'd be like pulling one of the slats out of a wooden barell and hoping to get the metal hoops to stay on.
$24 is a cheap filter price.. and this is one of those times you'll get exactly what you paid for.

air box
I think I have a good air box. I'll look when I get home from work tonight. If I do I'll post a pic and you can make me an offer + shipping. Shipping is probably $10.00 to $15.00 from the east coast. If your interested. Hope I can help... It s@##$ being broke. I rob Peater to pay Paul all the time.Originally posted by usmc_scott View Postgonzo ronzo.
