Re: stealth airbox I have the stealth airbox, and I love it. Other than the rubber boot your talking about, what a poorly designed piece. Mine sinks in just like yours, I am going try and cut up a fernco, and make it work though. Or modify the stock boot.

Re: stealth airbox Let me suggest a few rings of either
stiff wire, or sheet metal, glued in
place internally with weatherstripping
cement. This works on radiator hose,
if you use a thin enough sheet metal
you should have a negligible airflow
disruption. If you use mild steel or
brass, you can solder a lap joint and
this will make a ring that resists
compression pretty robustly.
