The pipes are in the airbox to "throw" any dirt etc into the side of the box. (The side most of you have cut out)

theres a red wire connected to something on the air box but just disconnected it and reconnected it once i'd drilled it.., i can drill but don't want to go through anything major that'll affect the car.. not exactly minted right now.. lol
