The K&N is a large part of the increase in flow.

I did. I only removed the headlight to do it.

Probably the most difficult thing about it is there is a pin that holds the snorkel. (two actually but one is in front) It's located back between the wheel-well and the engine.

Once you get the snorkel out it will all come together in your head and you'll see what to do.
