Just FYI, the two torx under the air filters. You don't need to remove them. They bolt that pop in/out piece to the cross brace. The same pop in/out as are on the edges.

So once you disconnect the clamps holding the intake boots to the filter box and remove the MAF sensors. You just gently pull and pop off the entire box up.

Technically you can get away without removing the airbox, but hit does give more flex and puts less strain on the new pipes.
