drill it i asked some geeza in a car shop n asked him wot the difference was n he just said about £70 i think my sounds better than my mates who has an induction kit

pull it :D and it comes out

cheers ill prob not drill as many holes tho but least got an ide, how day get the airbox out

I've had these pics on my comp for ages now. I cant remember who's it is now.

k will do!

cos it resets the ecu or sumfin, put a post up asking how to fit on, etc. resetting the ecu is important cos the air/fuel ratio going into the engine ill b different cos of the new filter that brings more cold air in

might give it a go, whats the deal with dis connecting the battery though?

so its juts ticking over, dont rev it when starting

idle?..........

do it urself for about a 10 minute job then once done, dis connetc battery for an hour then re connect, start engine up leave it at idle and dont rev, this re-ets the ECU

is it easy then, as i am a complete novice when it comes to moddifying etc. etc.
How much would it roughly cost to do proffesionally!!

Should be able to do it yourself.

i am getting a new Piper X induction kit this week anywayz, so i am sticking with that!
Does anyone know how much it will roughly cost me 2 fit??

yeah defo, id drill ur airbox cos its cheaper and theres been quite a few peeps on here sayin that the airbox method worked better than the new induction kits

by getting a new induction kit or drilling holes, does it make that much noise difference e.g could you hear them coming from far away?

Well i've still got my airbox so i might give that a go.

well i think its better for smaller engines cos the repcement cone filters take in too much air or sumfin, prob wrong. but if u get a new panel filter and drill then ur still keeping the box that keeps out the hol air, yet by drilling giving more cold air in and ive heard sum say its better than a cone filter and sounds better

So is drilling an airbox better for performance or noise?

does this make much difference to the sound of the car???

sumfin like this then

Just Drill as many holes in it as possible without makin it structually unstable. i used a 40mm drill bit but only did about ten holes and i have gone bak to it because my lil 1.2 doesnt like the induction kit i offered up

size and spacing dont matter mate......But as a rough guide do bout 20 holes using a 10mm drill bit. Dont drill above the bit where the filter fits, and dont drill on the engine side.

Matt

just turn it upside down and drill as many holes as you like.

wana try this but want to a diagram to folllow so i dont fuck it up. can use paint just so i can clearly see where to dill, wot size holes etc
