Hey I think I made a stupid mistake. I drilled the top part of my airbox....I'm planning on getting an intake but I guess I will be getting one more sooner than later. Unfortunately, I have a long drive to make 2morrow (6hrs). Do you think I could tape some dryer sheets or something over the holes I drilled? Will I make it?

How big is/are the hole/s? Personally I'd just duct tape it for a quick fix. Make sure you clean where the tape will adhere to so it gets a solid grip. Check it at your first pit stop and make sure its not coming loose, and reapply if necessary :p

Edit: Ahh Robb you beat me to it
 






I used an average sized drill bit...nothing massive...just a large amount of them...think "swiss cheese". so you guys think I should just duct tape over them huh? What is #138?
 






what is #138?
 






I just placed an order for the KKM intake kit...at least i have an excuse right:)
 






OK i got it #138 all weather duct tape...thanx
 






hmm

#138 was an arbitrary number there, just making reference to the many hundreds of uses for Duct Tape. I could have just as easily typed "Use #2064." The term "Use" was being used as a noun, not a verb. :)

Just a little humor......................................................very little.
 






Thats funny because there is actually a #138 all weather duct tape
scotch makes it!! :)
 






You think i should go ahead and drill the bottom half of the box? Or is that pushing it?

whats the point? you have the kkm on order so you might as well just wait a week for that to arrive.
