Your only limited by your imagination

Troyman, I like what you did to your airbox.....Does it give a louder induction sound? I'm contemplating doing something similar to mine.

i ended up drilling about 8 holes, smallish, 5 on the passengers side, 3 on the front. i didnt want to gauge out great chunks and find out it didnt work..
its a cold morning, so id assume the new found easy breathing was thanks to that.. but ill give it a decent boot today and see how it goes, might make bigger holes later on and see how that goes.

Quote: el/ef has to have the worst positioned throttle body and worst designed plenum thingy i have ever seen thats my 2 cents on el/ef cai Say - have you seen the EFI config on an XE/XF Falcon? - YUCK. That setup worked best with the battery in the boot, and a VN Commo Airbox with 90mm pipe in through under the guard. [/quote] |

well, i took my car to the dyno today @ BTA motorsport.
i got 120.1rwkw in november last year, now with the spark plugs, 02 sensor and the holes i described im getting 127.6rwkw, so im pretty happy with that!

Here's another one, I did today on my mate's Au falcon. Also removed the 55mm restriction in the airbox exit adaptor.
Throttle response is a whole lot better considering the car is bog stock and revs out better. Doesn't feel starved of air anymore. 
cheers

I have a kit on my EF which has a 2 holes in the bumper.
Would the best option for me be to cut a hole in the airbox and run pipe to the other side of the grill behind the bar to force air into the box? or could the air somehow be forced out the snorkel or somethin like that?

I reckon the best thing that you can do is keep your stock air box but cut a hole in the bottom of it. Also cut a hole under the air box and run a POD directly in front of the body kit hole.
Reason you keep your air box is so it looks stock. |

Look at it, you will see what i mean. thats and old thread dug up lol ironically i spent a hour reading this whole thing and am going to do the mod

I had my hand Down the front of the airbox and side and while the engines running u can feel the fan pushing cool air in front of the box so you could imagine while driving that air would flow there
