i just bought a magnaflow catback exhaust for my 2000 ex and they're sending a "free" k&n drop in filter. i was wondering if i put the filter in, would it hurt if i drilled a few holes in the air box lid to let some more air in? thanks

 

You're really not doing anything by drilling holes on the top of your air intake box. haha. just leave it alone. drop the K&N in there though

 

yeah drilling holes wont do anything. drop the air filter in and your good to go.

it aint gonna help for ****. and if it did you'd prolly get 1HP for it

 

yea idk i was just wondering, thanks guys

 

no prob anytime

 

i think i was gettin confused with my quad, cuz with that people always talk about drilling the air box for more air

 

you can drill the airbox to give it a little more sound, thats prolly all you'll get though.. i did it back when i had my maxima, gave it more of a sucking sound, nothing more though.

 

dONT DRILL!!!! its gonna be a bitch to pass smog on visual. take out the lower portion(the lower resonator).

You can remove the resonator and this will help some. It will be a touch louder however. Drilling holes in the TOP of the box would be retarded considering it would let in unfiltered air.

It just makes the intake sound deeper when accelerating. Doesn't sound bad in my opinion.

 

stock intake is good :]
but i still have the stock filter in.. maybe i should get a k&n filter

yea i kno, i like it too, kinda of a deep mellow humm

 

do you think a stock ITR intake would fit on my sohc, cuz when my cousin had his type r, all he did was take the lid off, cuz its that round filter like on my atv, nd that shyt was loud as hell, sounded real good

 

the loudest intake i heard is the whale ***** kind
for my stock d15b7 it was pretty loud

i actually modded my stock airbox. i cut a fat hole at the corner nearnest the passenger side corner light, on the side before the filter. my intake is so deep i love it, i also have a 3 inch sort ram pipe connected to it.

but then now i dunno how imma pass visual.

 

i cut a hole on the bottom of my air box and ran a tube to my front bumper, for about a week when i first got my car.
