Sounds good.

Can I ask, what is the swiss cheese airbox mod?

You get a hole saw thing and cut holes

It ends up looking like Swiss Cheese

Ah I see. I have read that it possibly improves fuel economy as well as makes the VR sound better.

Would it be worth doing to an automatic??

**VeeDubs** · 08-07-2009, 01:32 PM

yeah i would. however mine isn't swisscheesed.

i dont know if it improved my economy...how ever its sitting at about 14.6 and im giving it a fair drive, so its doing well imo.

I would suggest doing what i did. undo the screw at the front of ur airbox intake. and pull that out, then unclip your airbox, look under the filtered part of the box. theres a tube that sticks out into the box. shove a flat head screw driver into the pipe that leads out of the top section of the box. there will be an outside skin, and the tube inside. (this is probably getting really confusing) just jam the screw driver into this leaver it, and the tube should slide out.

After all this, u can try driving the car. see how it sounds. (it will sound better from the outside than the inside)

if u dont like it u could put it all back together without cost. if u want more u can make the intake hole bigger...or u could just drill the crap out of the bottom 1/2 of ur airbox. theres a thread on here where i think its rayray cut like 1/2 his airbox off...i might do that it looks pretty good/looks legal still.
