Take note in the third in fourth pictures the bolt in the upper right is a security allen bolt so be prepared to have one handy if you are looking to make your own changes.

Looks like modifying it to running an external breather would be a snap.

The tamper proof screw is used to attach the vent/screen to the airbox assembly only.
