stevet Member 85 Member For: 16y 12d Posted 04/12/08 08:17 AM Share Posted 04/12/08 08:17 AM This is probably where I get laughed off the forum .........But to all the people who have cut holes in the lower part of their airbox and fitted the F6 snorkel does it really make a noticeable difference?? And if so wouldnt a similar result be achieved by simply cutting a hole in the base of the airbox?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get some warmer air filtering in aswell as the air from under the headlight. It'll cost you nothing, and you'll gain some more air into the intake.There should be a template of where to make the cuts somewhere here on the forums.

I understand that it'd be better with the snorkel, the point of the statement was that he cant afford the snorkel..the car will still perform better with the hole cutout vs. standard airbox. Then when he can afford the snorkel, he can spend the extra minute putting the snorkel in.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
