you’ll need a cutting tool (a dremel tool with a cutting wheel is recommended although the shroud can be cut with a utility knife) and the correct size Torx bit for disassembling the mass air flow meter. There are some slight differences between model years, like the small plastic tube in the intake tube on 1997-98 models, but those items are indicated in the Breathless instructions.
    Breathless offers the air box in three different styles — clear, black, or carbon fiber.
