A power drill with a cutter will make you a nice hole. The cutter attachment is a few dollars. Get a metal cutter.

1) permanent marker and compass to draw that circle

2) electric drill with 1/2 bit

3) electric jig saw with metal cutter blade

4) dremel grinder.

the whole job took an hour, from taking off original intake to getting the new one on.

Yeah, i know. that's why i asked if he did some custom setup. He said he had an injen, and yet he drilled a hole. it didn't make sense...
