Excuse my ignorance, but what do I need to drill the airbox for?
Is it the same as fitting K&N air filter, how much is the filter?
Thanks

no it is not the same as fitting a K&N filter
but they do go well with eachother
drilling the air box increases the air flow whilst maintaining a relatively cold air flow as the air box acts as a heat shield from the engine (this is why u drill holes on the wing side)
the filter goes inside the air box to filter the air
theirs a guide in the guide section

Thanks luca, wher is that guide in teh FAQ?
My question was, by drilling the airbox, do you get a better performance at low rpms, or the engine runs more smothly, or ....?

i agree stick to the box and dont get a open air filter -they will cause lots of beef-
closed filters are best like the viper or the bmc
ive put my box back on since!!

ive got a PVD open air filter and it works perfectly. also know lots of people with open K&N air filters etc and they are fine as well.
