Unhappy oem airbox

i'm selling a spoon snorkel but i am thinking of just keeping it soooo.... In order to get it to fit into the oem airbox you are supposed to cut off the mouth of the airbox, i looked to see if i could just remove the mouth in case i need it later... whatever is holding that thing on looks like a pain to remove anyone been there??

You have no idea what you are talking about. Dont give out bad advice if you dont have a clue to what you are talking about. It's not much louder and you will lose horsepower. You drill out rivets. You dont "Rip things out"

As was said above. Drill them out. If you want to bring it back to stock, you just use pop rivits to re-install it.
