An induction kit is only better if you can guarantee you can get a decent supply of cold air to it.

If I was you, unless you're doing heavy mods to it get a panel filter, then drill the airbox and get a cold air feed from the vent in the bottom of the bumper.  If you search the forum there'll be a few topics on it mate.

Here's some inspiration.





















The pics of the inside of the airbox look very messy, but it's pretty smooth behind there and it made good power on the dyno  :smiley: :smiley:

Drilled airbox and panel filter is the best option.

Bumper vents look good Khare.
