im getting sick of the noise coming from my k+n cone filter on my xe and its probably doing more harm than good by sucking in hot air from the engine bay

so i was thinkiing about getting a standard airbox and putting the cone inside it with a cold air feed

which airbox has a larger outlet pipe similar in size to the xe intake hose?

im sure ive seen a pic on here of it done before?

Dave B modified a standard corsa airbox so the induction pipe is bigger.

He used a bit of drain pipe it doesnt look great but it works.

c16xe is the better one to get..

just need's slight modification of chopping the tabs off

wouldn't the cv boot be too small, due to thickness of drive shafts?
