hi im thinking of drilling a few holes on my airbox over the xmas periord just wanted 2 know realy how many holes is recomended and how far apart should thay be. Also were should i put the holes(front/back/all round) and what kind of size should the holes be cheers

[Jon_nova1]

the holes need to be placed so the air still goes through the air filter, as in around the sides if i remember :?

[novamadcars]

so drill the holes at the back and front of the filter casing? any idea on how many i should drill and what sze mate?

[Jon_nova1]

No, i just stuck a K&N on mine :lol: , i shouldn't think anything bad would come of drilling too many holes or too big, because theres nothing that can go wrong :wink:

ive herd that it will make the engine sound more deeper not sure weather this is true or not tho :o

[orange_andy]

on my old car (not nova) it made it sound deeper, depends what make you get tho, me mate has a 106 with just a filter on it, the ?70 one and it sounds like an exhaust, the k n n on my nova doesnt make any deep noises at all!! its going off tomoro for standard, due to cacky carb icing
