Cut and sanded mine with a dremel and the little cutoff wheels....took all of 10 minutes and is very easy to control a little dremel.

I wouldn't recommed trying to make the cut with an ordinary dremel that's for sure. I picked up a cheap air compressor (11 gallon) and it came with an air grinder. I bought the metal cutoff wheels and attachment and used that. The small compressor made for a little longer then it should have as waiting for pressure to build up every now and again. The directions that come with it are spot on and even come with a template. You mark your area, use a 2" hole saw to cut the corners and a cut-off wheel for the rest. After that its a matter of cleaning it up, spraying it for rust protection and buttoning everything else up. You can see the other piece you rivet on so it covers your cut up pretty well. tkob, good looking out about the flex hose. I thought snotting some silicone around it but will prolly add another hose clamp.

Used a dremel and cutoff wheels here too. It was pretty easy, and it went a little slower allowing for better control. All in all, a very easy upgrade. Make sure to seal everything with gasket seal!! Even the holes at the bottom of the air box!
