drilled airbox slowed mine down after having an induction kit. drilled airbox couldnt take in enough air, was getting black smoke. | |

so if you change the panel filter on a corsa c sxi to another kind of panel filter it will not alter the sound????? | |

I put a PVD filter panel in and fitted a cold air feed form the front grill and sealed it inside the standard air box. | |

i found replacing the OE air feed with a diff one from starting bottom grillie in the bumper works wonders too! | |

first i drilled my air box with 12x 1/2cm holes on the box and also cut away the plastic lip that is at the front of the air box. | |

I've drilled my airbox but it's not making it much louder. I've got a lot of holes on the underside furthest from the engine and basically didn't drill any on the engine side incase i get hot air going up the airbox. Should I just drill the underside of the airbox to buggery for more noise or would this bugger up performance?? | |

If you just replace the panel mate you wont notice that much difference as a new filter without the drilled airbox is pointless - as your not getting enough air into it for it to perform :D | |

Will changing the standard air filter to a performance one make a noticeable difference? |
