i go confused by another post saying cut a big hole in the front of the air box and run a pipe from there to the grill area dont think it would make that much different unless the pipe was rediculously big and as ive mentioned before with the tinny bopper engine would be worth the hassle :| | |

and if you put an induction kit on it (not reccomended), make sure you seal over the hole coming from the exhaust manifold, ir it will pump hot air straight into the engine bay. | |

quote: Errr that be a pipe running from the exhaust manifold. It is designed to open and close inside the airbox, to allow warm air from the manifold to be sucked in, it helps the auto choke when starting from cold. If you look inside the airbox, there is a valve on a spring which opens and shuts. Dave | |

it makes a slight difference in sound drilling the airbox, i did it but wasnt particularly happy with it, so i bought a pipercross induction kit, now it revs free'er and the engine feels like its not trying as hard, which is nice. plus it sounds like a mad beast | |

Are you talking about the standard air intake? Plastic oval type thing.... Of course it will have this! | |

Took ou the drill on Saturday moring to drill the airbox opened the bonnent to find that there a breather pipe going from the front of the airbox over the radiator and taking in air at the from grill. Its not homemade like its installed by vauxhall. so im thinkin theres not much point in drill the air now? |
