as said by sharpie in so much detail...  :laugh:  you can drill/cut the standard airbox on the side closest the wing to allow quicker air intake, this combined with a performance panel filter is the best method in my eyes. very marginal differnece between this and a cone filter with correct cold air feed.

i did the above mods on my 16v, i used an omp panel filter, cut a big chunk from the lower half of the airbox (front right), removed the trumpet and i would say i have notice some gains, i have also ported the throttle bodie.
not sure on actual gains or anything but it makes more noise.
