I just tried but how much toothpaste are you guys using and what are you using to take it off. When I just tried it, it was super hard to take off, like the rag didnt want to take it off it kept just sticking there lol.

Seems like you could drill to fit two of these in airbox and seems much cheaper way than previous link to other ones at $20 each!
Alright...I ordered 3 of these cups last week, and to my disappointment, they don't have the "trumpet" part...they're just simply stainless steel cups...

Anyways, found 2" rubber rings over at Lowes...hehe...now I can finally get my BFI done....
