Just pick up a Wizaird from ZZP and call it a day. They have dropped their price to $190 and it is just an awesome system.

 

I ran into the same problem recently. Being the twisted power-tool freak that I am, I dragged out the Sawz-All and hacked up the air box (no worries, I havea stock spare). Took the top of the box completely off, left the floor of the box (which is theroof of the PCM compartment) so the CIA fits with no trouble and the PCM is still snug and sealed up in the box, rubber shock mounting and all. It wouldn't hurt to clean up the cut lines with a sander and maybe hit it with a coat of black paint...not really alot to see when you look down there, especially with the filter hanging over the top.

$20 is not a bad price at all for the part. And it doesnt look ugly! lol

 

Good idea. That is a good price. I like the K&N one but I can't justify paying the $400 they want for it. :S

 

Otherwise just pull that useless metal box out. It will save you about 5 lbs and is good weight reduction.
