If it's just sound you are after get a Induction kit and back box..that will do the trick.

Depends on how much money you want to spend...

If you dont want to spend much, then get a drill and put a whole in your air box... if you have a small amount buy an induction kit, but if you have quite a bit to spend and want a better noise buy a back box....

my dad isa welder so he made a straight thru centre section, removed the cat and i bought a cherry bomb back box,
