I've never had the holes in my airbox, but just with a Simota high-flow filter I did notice a small difference in pep and in MPG's.

ya it works. i felt some low end gain on the butt dyno, plus it sounds awesome! you wont get any CELs and if you drive it nice and easy you should gain some mpg from better flow. but, if your like me adn you love the sound then i think i probably lost mpg from stomping on it everywhere! lol

how hard is that plastic to cut?
could I reach in and cut without removing the airbox? |

i popped about 12 1/2inch holes in my airbox... sounds good, better response, intake air temp went up a bit though (scangauge)... im gonig to try some ducting from fog lamp opening to the driver side of the airbox, try and cool things down a bit...
