It wouldn't be worth going to the trouble of removing the trumpet in the airbox and fitting the original paper panel filter as these are really restrictive.

Get yourself a K&N panel filter as the noise it makes when its on song is worth the money alone and it will stop the depression caused when your put your toe down and try to draw air through an original paper filter.

I removed the trumpet on mine and also drilled the inner wing side of the airbox with a 16mm spade bit so it looked like a connect 4 game. It makes a gorgeous noise and the car is slightly more responsive on the throttle than it was without the mods.

well seem to find even removing the pipe from the box it's npt that loud but loosened the lid a little and it lat rip but obviously this isn't a good thing.

will drilling the lower half of the air box make a big difference?
