Slight cut needed for my TT air filter fittment. Can or should I do it.
Hey guys ..... my driver side K&N turbo air cleaner fitment has always been a pain and install is not easy. I am thinking about cutting out this area in the silver lines on the pictures for easier in n out!
Do you guys think this is a good idea or will it cost structural integrity to be weakened. Thoughts?

Looks structural to me. However is possible to fab a brace to put behind and support after the cut. do not think I would cut without additional brace .

I agree since it is seam welded, it is probably structural to some degree. Will your car fall apart without it? Probably not... If it were my car I would go for it, especially if you are always taking the filters on and off. If you have access to a welder, maybe you could stitch up the seam with a weld after you cut it.

I use one and inspect it all the time. I was at a car show and was talking to some Trophy Truck racers that use them running through wild sand situations in the desert. |

You are welcome. Couple of my Camaro buds have them on their filters, and they look great. I'm going to order one for mine!

How do you like the LOD intake? Thinking about getting one... just worried about low end response.
