Default F-sport Intake box vs. Stock intake box

Is the opening on the side pretty much the only difference between the stock box and the F-sport box?

The F-Sport intake only replaces the lower section of the airbox, correct? The upper remains stock?

Ya 2 hours cuz Im picky and it's hard to dremel out the slits in there. The plastic gets so hot quickly it either melts or sticks to the dremel haha. Still not perfectly smooth, but its ALOT better!

Don't ask me. My exhaust is loud enough, I can't tell a difference. I would have to have somebody step on the gas while I listen under the hood
