    Some notes:
    1. The two tops were difficult to separate from the base because each had four pins that appeared to have been deformed (melted?) to keep things together. I'm confident the remaining claws will hold the assembly together, though there may be some rattling.
    2. The intake snorkel has some foamy tape applied. I suppose this is to make for a tighter fitment, probably to address rattling.
    3. When fitted, the resonant cavity connecting tube protrudes inside the air filter box.
    4. The two upper halves are not exactly sealed to the base. Once I broke the little melted rivet thingys, the tops separated pretty easy. They also went back together pretty easy. Though they are not sealed, you can tell by the amount of dust outside that it didn't really get inside.

    Let me know if you have any questions, if I missed something, or if there's anything else you'd like to see.
