I'm new to the forum but have spent HOURS reading and this seems to be a great group of guys and a very helpful community! On to my question now...
I have a 2011 EC300 and the boot of the airbox seems to be stretched out because it doesn't fit or seal worth a damn to the carb. My concern is that I'll suck in dirt/water and cause damage.
My question is instead of trying to find the new rubber boot portion of the air box I plan on just fabricating a whole new air box. What I'm not sure of is if I need to keep the same basic shape or would it make a difference at all? I will be eliminating the stock filter and going to a pod type filter.
So if I stray away from the factory design will this harm performance or cause jetting difficulties? Thanks!
