Yes hacking the bottom of the airbox helped tons , it sounds just like an short ram intake now. A lot of sucking sound just reving it and under wot it really screams .I gained about 2 mpg's also, the best/cheapest modd i've done so far and it looks all stock too.
Cool. How big a hole in the bottom and where is it? Or di you just hack the whole bottom off? This is got to be the best for the least!

I have two small holes in my airbox which are 2" aprox by 2.5" in rectangular shape. One is on the front towards the headlight and the other on the closest side to the fender. It does sound pretty mean.

Yeah , I just hacked off the whole bottom , about 3 " up from the bottom .I Just turned the box on its side and hacked the whole bottom off . If for some reason I ever want it back to stock, I can just plastic weld the bottom back to the box . It also retains the clips for the lid and the little post that seats into a rubber gromet in the engine bay, so it looks just like stock . This is the best power/mpg's - dollar modd out there . I plan on showing the car and will be going with the stock air-box lid flip upside down and a C-one drop-in filter which looks very killer and still a clean oem look too.
