Would any SE owner kindly share how they remove the airfilter out of the stock air box. Its not as straight foward as the N/A NB box. Feel free to edit the photo with arrows for easier explanation
thanks

You need to get access to all the clips, one on each corner, you need to be contorted and what not.
Try removing the little snorkel too.

The clips come off no problems which allows you to lift the top of the air box by about 2-3 cms, its that hose above to the left of o2 sensor as well as the hose going into the airbox that stops the top of the air box from fully being lifted.
Are you saying by removing the snorkel, you can get the filter out, or are you saying to remove it to get more induction noise/better flow?

Managed to get it off, for those that are interested piperXross filter part number PP1369, which they say is for 04 MX5 doesnt fit. Back to the shop it goes.
Hopefully k&N will fit.

What a horrible intake. It's easily as bad as the older NA. No wonder SP Motorsports recommends it's removal.
