see when you de restrict an air box, isnt it just drilling lots of holes in so it can suck all the warm air out the engine bay in?

thats more restricted id say?

Well I can't say it boosted the performance Nic lol. But it didn't make the flat spot the cone filter did. If he's after a bit more grunt thats they best and cheapest option I think

Cone filters sound crap on the 12v's. I had one on for about an hour, my drilled and derestricted airbox went straight back on, sounded much better than the cone.

Yes but a VTS will get to its top end a hell of alot quicker than a 1400 sport.
