It will choke your engine a little and the big problem with the stock filter is how it seals to the air box.

Get the pro-design proflow kit with k&n filter, that'll let your rappy breath easier and give you a little extra "umph!"

a Power Filter from White Bros is an inexpensive alternative to stock if you don't want to buy the pro-design.

Yes, that's the setup you want to run if you wish. I went with the same setup and trimmed the tabs on my snorkle, ended up having to rejet the mains, I was getting a lean pop on deceleration.

Yup! That's it. Keep in mind that it may also require you to rejet your rappy to get it running just right. Also since your rappy will be breathing more, it might also be a good idea to buy a new exhaust system to let that beast exhale better....
