   as long as you drill it before the filter you wont have problems. but if you want a roar get a cheap kn or pipercross they were loud as hell on the furio i had.

   on most cars ive had they acctully run better with drilled airbox plus a panel filter
   
   induction kits just tend to suck in hot air from the engine bay

   yes but then its got the bottom of the airbox to cool down a bit plus go thru the filter?
   
   induction kits just have the filter
