Hey guys, I'm new to this forum

I have a 60 reg Corsa 1.4 SRi, and I have been researching how to make it sound better. I have looked into drilling holes in the airbox but fear it'll suck up warm air and lose power. Also looking at a K&N Cone filter to improve the sound. And reccomendations? Any tips or ideas?

Cheers

Josh

Best bet would be to buy an actual after market filter rather than drill the standard box

Yeah, I'm looking at a K&N filter, but another idea is a backbox, sounds louder, deeper and more compression. Thanks for the quick response

You can drill the airbox without it taking in warm air, just plan where it needs drilling.

Then fit a free-flow panel filter such as K&N.
