I have taken out my pipercross induction kit and drilled the original airbox, I have drilled about 25 small holes in the left hand side and underneath on the left with unsatisfactory results. Do I therefore make the holes bigger and hope this will remedy the problem pr buy a decent panel filter if so which one thanks for any help, paul.....

to get best result ya need to drill between one and five (more holes=more air and more noise 40-50mm diameter holes on the left hand side base of airbox (inside wing) as this is where all cold air is you can also run cold air pipe down to void behind bumper. worked wonders on mine and me mates
