what's blocking it?

you can only need so much air for the motor, most aftermarket intake are using the same diamete tube as oem(around 3 inch).

oem have to work around water induction, noise, etc


what are you plan for this btw?

if you look at the elbow on the bottom of the air box lid there is a 90 degree elbow with a arc cut into it. that arc allows anything heavier than air (ie. rocks, sand, etc..) to collect into that side while the cleaner air goes to the intake. this is all assumption tho. i may be wrong

This is a common mod. It is called "gutting" the airbox. It is a good mod when also adding a Spoon style snorkle. Without the snorkle, you may not notice much difference.
