yeah do a search. I boulght the SLP set up. I do like it and its the top of the line. BUT.....it was expensive!
I think you can cut the box down to allow more flow. Ive seen some people make some really nice set ups.
If you mess up I have my stock set up ill sell you.

Take the box off, heat the crease with a torch and raise it about 1/4 of an inch on both sides. I did it to my car and it seeemed to help.
