Y don't you take a picture of your own airbox and shop some holes into it?
The only standard airbox I had with holes in it got scrapped with the car

im sure your meant to drill them on the left hand side looking at the pic. drill on the side away from the engine - so it doesnt draw in the hot air. someone on here said about 8-10 holes 20mm in diameter will do.

done it now.......my mate said it sounded like i had a sports back box coming down the road but i dont think so. I still have standard panel filter the now but am looking for a cheap decent one. there is a good but quietish noise up to 4krpm Will a k&n panel filter make it any louder in general and higher up the revs? Thanks

no it wont, what you hear now is what your gonna get with any panel filter, though a K&N may make it breath easier

that's true. i have a pvd panel filter in mine and it doesn't make that much of a difference to the standard filter.
