    Took a chunk out of the old steel screen in the back of the garage.
    Got a hose clamp a little bigger than the deckplate, Voila!

    I also blocked the small intake muffler hole and reinstalled it.
    The GF hates the noise when wide open at high RPM's, I dont!

    Same thing happened to my mothers Camry. The rodents had stock piled the dog food from the other side of the garage in the air box. Cleaned it out and installed the mesh no more rodents.

    If you have rats in your airbox you should spray nos in there. It's a win win situation. You get more power and the rats get a good laugh.
