    The only modification I did with mine, was I cut a hole through the skeleton of my hood so when its shut, the cap sits up inside basically.

    For the bottom, I laid a piece of rubber down in between the core support, and cross member, and it sits nicely down in. My hood shuts just fine. With my radiator standing straight up.

    Hrmm..I am also having to make sure it is far enough forward to clear my shitty DP so that might be my main problem. I need to cut some of my core support, I wonder how much I can cut out I've seen people cut the whole thing out before, but they seemed to be more of drag cars.

    I'm assuming your DP exits to the right/passenger side. My snail is on the other way around. I made my own DP and it comes out, wraps down around the snail, and hugs the oil pan with 1/2 clearance between the two. I put a few strands of heat tape on the pan. With just a piece of screen and I cut one of my spare foam air filters for my race bike to use as a filter. I do have room to run a piece of IC pipe and a filter. I just chose not to because I've seen what a dirtbike air filter stops, and its less cluttered this way
