For any others out there who couldnt find info on doing these mods to the 2.4 or 2.7L airbox, here it is! This is a pic of the removed albow and the installed deckplate. It only took me maybe 20 mins max to do both of them together. Plus, the only money I spent was on the deckplate $8 and some sealant for like $2.50 (I used liquid nails). Easy as hell. And those ribs were no problem at all. After screwing down the deckplate it was easy to see they don't come into play.
