Don't do this!

As for drilling the airbox, it be a good idea and while ya at it, derestrict it too and remove the cold air feed and it'll sound the nuts.

i was joking...

ive drilled mine but when i swapped engines i had to tape over some of the holes as the induction noise was too loud

make sure you take the plastic tube out of the inside of the lid aswell

Did it on my 1.0L and yes, it made a very slight difference, more of a difference to the sound though, makes it sound like its not a 1.0L

Anyways, yeah, my 12v sounded really deep when I put my foot down, defo didn't sound like a 12v anymore.
I even tried a cone filter once and it sounded shit compared to the airbox.

The bigger the holes, the deeper the sound.
I had holes about the size of a 10p coin in mine and had about 6/7 holes.
