Airbox noise (this thread means it's time to sell up)

My question is on most vauxhalls you can drill the airbox on the side facing the inner wing to get a good sound without putting an induction kit on and slowing the car down. Can this be done on supra's? Ive just bought a TOM's panel filter but i would like some more noise.

Yes but it would drag in too much hot air i dont want that.

 

You can fit a sheild like many others have done. I use the apexi kit with a stock top radiator cold air feed and only time it affects me is after being stuck in traffic but only lasts a second after pulling away.

So will drilling holes in the airbox though. The airbox is ducted with cold air feeds which will work a lot better than your holes.

 

It's quiet for the same reason. Why don't you look at getting a bigger exhaust instead?

Apexi with a heat shield if you want induction roar, i would figure the Supra (tt im guessing) engine bay is a somewhat hotter place than most all Vauxhall's, 2 turbo's causes a lot of heat, i would figure those holes will pull in hot air yes cooler than the otherside but still hot.

I asked a simple question that should have got a simple answer, On migweb which is vauxhall's best forum they say to do this as a cheap mod to get a better sound without losing the hp you would with a normal induction kit. As for these "funny" comments if your trying to offend me you will need to try alot harder. Sounds like a very good forum this you put up a question which requires a short simple answer, then you get people trying to make offence over the internet "the place you can call people and get away with it".
