just mod your airbox, and use a performance panel filter, just the same, but a hell of a lot cheaper

Why do people think that modding an air box is a good move?
This sucks in crap!

55% of engine sales at my work are K-series engines, obviously quite a good engine wouldn't you say?

Had three cars with K-series, and never a problem.

drilling an air box lets it suck all the crap in.

thats what the filter is for, to filter the crap
Viper is a lot of money, but its good quality
but i wouldnt bother with one unless i was tuning the engine a lot, the gains arent worth the money.

but the filter, stop's the shit getting in your engine, its whay they are there for 
and when i say mod, i dont mean drill so it looks like swiss cheese, i mean just remove the restrictions from the inside, to make it flow better

Just buy a wider piece of piping for it and cut the original airbox intake wider, this will be the same as the enclosed induction kit, perhaps with a slightly smaller surface area.

sorry i thought you meant drill the crap out of the air box.
people think that making 4000 holes in the back of the air box is a good move. This isnt a good move. the filter doesnt get much of a chance to stop the crap. hence why so many corsa air flow meters are foooked.

info on herer there seems to be Viper, Raid, ITG or BMC enclosed kits.
Also see here:

TNM - Sounds like people have been drilling the wrong side of the airbox, completely bypassing the filter lmao!
EDIT - Personally I'd mod the airbox, buy a panel filter and spend the rest of the money elsewhere
