What did you guys use to enlarge the hole? Would an electric drill work with a circle drill bit? Or would I need to grind away at it?

I want a clean job, not a hack job with tin snips.

Dremel seems to be the tool of choice, but a small grinder will work well, even one of those cutt-off tools for a drill. Just remember to put some paint on the bare metal when you're done.

I just bent the sides down

So i could always bend them back someday even though it wouldn't matter

dont' forget to put some sort of rubber lining or plastic on the spots you cut, if not, you will scratch your intake tube all up. and be sure to paint where you cut it at too, keeps rust away.
