A Sawzall (hand held reciprocating saw)works well for rough cutting of the intake. On aluminum, I prefer to use a pneumatic grinder with coarse sanding rolls.

I just did mine as well. Started with a sawzall, got most of the metal out, then I switched to carbide bits that I ordered off ebay for 50 bucks for a set of 8. Worked wonderfully!

 the two on the far right are good for smoothing out the metal. The sawzall is good for gettin the mass of the metal out. Then just work it with the the bits i just told u about. it takes alot of time |
