bypassing the air box
i see people running after market intakes but how do you get around the air box? i mean it wont run without it on so how do you bypass that?

Well there is the air filter box that holds the stock air filter and then there is the AFM that sits on top of the air filter box. So you are eliminating the air filter box and stock air filter and replacing that with a different air filter, typically some sort of open element design and then attaching that to the AFM which in turn connects to the intake tube that runs to the throttle body on the intake.
