   This sounds like a very NOOBISH question but,
   My engine bay just sounds very mechanical and sounds poo... I've got a nice sounding back Box.
   
   Me and my dad took the whole
   Engine bay apart and he is a mechanic so he knows his stuff, and everything works fine and is tip top, the only thing is I can't ask him what to make it sound less mechanical, because he believes that you shouldn't mess around with factory built cars.
   
   Is there any thing I can do to give it a nice sound? Excuse the noob question...
   
   Thanks guys!

   panel fiter or open cone fiter will give some nice induction roar.
   
   other than that, a 421/41 mani and/or de-cat will compliment your back box with a deeper meaner note, not to mention the popping and spluttering your get from it.
   
   hope this helps

   I think you are referring to the airbox for the simota/raceland filters, it connects up to the air inlet in the grille
