smaller holes make it raspy, bigger holes make it deeper, the noise that is, mine sounds nice, and that was a 10mm drill bit

IMO paper filters are as good as K&N panel filters, no difference whatsoever on mine, just a deeper roar with the paper filter

I'm not so sure on those aftermarket panel filters, they let in more air but is that at the cost of less filtration?
