Air Box Drilling?

[primo123]

Ive heard if you drill some holes in your airbox you can get minor improvements? Is this true? If so, where do you drill? How many holes? How big? Anyone with ideas please let me know. Plus any pics? Thanks guys. _Travis

NM guys, i used the search tool and found exactly what i was looking for. But if anyone has pics of this cheap mod, please post. thanks

Drill the holes in the side facing away from the motor, its a useless mod for performance, however it sounds a hell of a lot better, and it beats those fucking cold air kits.

Cool man. Now i just need a pics or two to look at. I dont know how big of a hole to drill and how many to drill ya know. Thanks again man, and cant wait to hear the new sound it makes.

They're called "speed holes"

They make you go faster.

what do you mean, like the top section of the box? why would anyone do that...?

it sounds al ittle throatier and you probably loose 1 hp...

Depending on your car's configuration, your engine will sound louder than the exhaust or will now be in sync (somewhat) with the exhaust.

I really hope these guys are smarter than that...

and you're motor will probably have a nasty lean spike. Mine did on the dyno.
