Got the airbox side mod in. The only small snag is removing those clips holding the plastic piece (snorkel start plate) behind the headlight. The clip centre pin has to be knocked out before collapsing the hands. On the lower one access is difficult - must be a special tool for that. ended up replacing the lower one with ziptie. This car is held together with countless zipties
The other point is the airbox mod to accept the bigger snorkel is very minor, no need to cut too much. see pics.
For the accordian I used 3" hump coupler and 3" to 2.75" reducer coupler with 3" AL pipe. The OMI has 2.75" receiver.
One thing that is a bit bothersome is there is not much space at the beginning of the snorkel behind the headlight. . I might end up removing it altogether at some point to see if it makes a diff.
