yeah i will get a panel filter and see how it goes then. it was really when i pull away from a set of lights and i noticed it and i thought to myself it wasnt this bad with the induction kit on.

It has a bigger surface area than panel filter, will be kept cool by airbox, still get ind sound (if you like that sort of thing)

Hi guys, I was thinking of drilling holes in my airbox. The main reason i was going to do this was for the noise. can u really hear it and do you need to change the panel airfilter to get this noise?

dont drill it, remove the internals of the airbox and fit a K&N or PiperX ind inside the box, will be louder than panel filter and still reduce heatsoak

I say get some pipework in there to relocate the induction kit down the wing to colder air.

Mine is hardly ideal but it looks like this...
