Hey all,

Has anyone modified their airbox for improved flow?

How did you do it?

Where the results noticeable?

check that link, instructions all inclusive too. thats what ive done and prob the best ive seen

mels black gti has the AEM Intake on it which gives a very throaty sound and you can hear it suck quite loudly too (nice) as well as the dv (even stock) gives a woosh sound through it.. (getting a 2 made up soon so if u want one...)

yeah I did.chopped about a 5 inch round hole where stupid standard pipe connects,then sikaflexed a induction pipe into hole.must better sound and a little more power.

Does anyone know where a "How To" for smoothing the OEM airbx is?
I have a K&N Panel Filter, so will not be going the pod filter route, although I would be keen for futher intake smoothness!

Ideas...

open it up and look at the bottom,there are a few plastic fin parts,ditch them,,use a pliers,they will click off.and then with a sharp stanley style scrapper.its pretty easy and straight forward.

Hmm - I might give the 3 inch hose a go this weekend...

I used a 3" hose from Autobahn/Supercheap and put it down into the front bar - Didn't make a whole lot of difference imo

i noticed a difference on mine from stock definately. maybe chip difference possibly?

noticed a difference with the AEM intake, but not sure if thats from sound/mental change or really did change, they are proven however so who knows!

I'm also interesting in modifying mine. Keep us updated with your results!

Didn't get a chance to do it on the weekend - I might try for this weekend... If I do - there will be a nice little guide with photos. Stay tuned...
