1: Yes it will
2: Yes it does, with a performance type
3:Yes you can, but literally cutting the whole bottom of the box off so there is no pressure.

on my corsa sxi i think air comes in at the bottom from a pipe to the radiator then up the filter onto the top where it feeds to the engine..im asking ......do u just drill the underneath? cos it looks stupid when u lift the bonnet anf find holes in the sides? is it very loud? do they perform better than k&n...im thinking of the PVD panel filter..is it anygood?

There are more than one type of airbox though gambit. And there are still unanswered questions in the Tutorials section.

yes if u drill the holes in the wrong place, ie engine side then it will decrease performance, but if u put em in the right place it will increase it.
