Default Airbox mods

Just thought I would share my evening of tinkering with the air box. I took it out and removed the baffle in the inlet. That restricts the inlet pipe down to probably 2/3 of its actual size. I then noticed just below the headlights, there is a circular panel that is spot welded in two spots. It was about 2-1/2" in diameter, so I poped it out. I figured that would give more cool air potential for the air box to suck in for the holes I was about to drill! I then took my 2" hole saw, and cut three holes in the front of the box.

The results seem good! A little more turbo noise when it spools (which I like). Now the box can actually flow enough air to take advantage of the huge filter.

The butt dyno indicates that it pulls better above 3k rpms, but that could be wishful thinking... Either way it definently didn't hurt performance any!
