Is it just for the sound or does it improve your engine performance?? aldive 01-21-2003, 06:50 PM It allows for more air flow. However, the use of a KKM or K&N filter is a better choice. Good luck..... MONMIX 01-21-2003, 06:58 PM It does perk things up a good bit. Adding a K&N will with out question enhance even that. It does however create a bit more under the hoon noise. I think is is a worth wile mod, if ya want a little more kick in the pants. Just remember drill the bottom and not the top. heydunn 01-25-2003, 09:13 AM How many and what size holes do you drill? Sounds like a good idea. MONMIX 01-25-2003, 08:25 PM I just opend the whole front right below where the filter ended. Only on the front where the smaller intake was. Pulled out a big ol' rectangle. Ground the edges round, sanded the edges smooth. All in all a bit over an hour worth of work and tlc. jasonb 01-25-2003, 08:36 PM i've seen some that just drilled lots of 1/2" holes. i've seen some remove the bottom half completely. up to you.. heydunn 01-25-2003, 09:42 PM thanks for the tip....with times being tuff and all a low cost trick is just the thing I need. Thanks....... |
