The air line that needs to be closed off is located near the bottom of the frame. It should have a factory plug in it and is only removed to drain mung and stuff from the bottom of the air box. If it is not plugged you will allow unfiltered air to be drawn up the tube directly to the carb and into the engine.
For those who don't know yet: the air box is a sealed unit and the airflow is reversed compared to most engine configurations. The air flow is from the inside of the filter to the outside of the filter into the air box and on to the carb/engine.
Cutting an opening in the air box for better flow is a big no-no. The air will then bypass the filter entirely and shorten engine life dramatically.
