well after reading many threads i came up with this airbox mod,
i'm only 15 but done this mod for my dads car,and didnt have the right tools only used the drill, a knife, lighter and a rubber mullet. but still managed it,first i got the bottom half of the airbox which was a spare one so didn't care if i f**k it up,well first of all i cut the hole out on the airbox on da side picture below...

then i though i wanted to do somethign different not just cut a hole so i got a rubber that belongs to a airbox and somthing that was like a brackt which the rubber fitted on perfect,i then melted the middle of it(this bracket i made up was froma suby box for the cables LMAO,anywais melted the middle looked somthing like this after i done that part...

good job for a 15 year old,had to melt heaps of plastic and somthing like weld them tugetha

were you aiming for a hexagon shape when you cut that?

looks cool, let me know what your dad thinks when he gets home

hahaha! Good onya for havin a go mate! Whatya reckon the chances are your dad's gunna let you anywhere near his car to try it out though

sure its a au airbox??? not ea-ed???

this is off a el,arnt el and au aiboxes the same ?

That will never fit back into the car mate. You have a 3in flexi pipe coming out of the fender side of the airbox. You have only about 1/2 inch gap between the airbox sidewall and passenger fender to start with.

Better tell your old man, before you cut a hole into the passenger fender to fit that pipe.

thought something ws a bit backwards... na the bottom of the airboxs are thesame for au to ef... the tops are close just have a different sized outlet....

i cut the 3in flexi pipe shortened it,if it doesnt fit il try soemthing else but it should fit,im going to put it on tonite

Done all the experimenting and this is the best idea I have come up with so far.
No point re-inventing the wheel eh!
