Has anyone "drilled" a hole in the std filter system??
 

i.e , resonator box so it allows more air in (possibly using foglight apperture)

did it on my Escort RS Turbo and made a huge difference, surely must be able to see good results from this?

OR...

Am I wrong?

Yep but the stock filter will still only flow so much unless u change the panel filter as well.
P.

ITG or K&N/Pipercross panel filter, surely a cost effective mod...

Home made inner wing induction wouldnt cost much more tha a K&n panel.

Thought about it, but wouldnt know where to start LOL

I may be doing an inner wing setup next month James if you fancy doing them together?

3 x 90 degree silicone elbows (black) + Jubilee Clips
3 x Plastic hose connectors
1 x Breather Filter
1 x Cone Filter (Not a really expensive jobby)

Priced it all up to around the £60 mark.

I once took the pipe off between the filter box and the resonator box. Probably very minor difference in power and sound.

and more chance of sucking a puddle into the engine!

I have, got some pics somewhere. Will but em up tomorrow.

My car ran without that for years and never had any problems with water ingress and I live where we don't have hosepipe bans if you get my drift.
