oh ****. you guys are killing me taking your boxes apart cutting holes what are you thinking. if anything you are turning your stock intakes into short ram intakes. not a good thing because your car is sucking in all the hot air around your engine. yes you are getting more air but it's not good air. second thing i'm surprised you haven't thrown a cell. are intake systems are extreamly sensative. i had my cold air intake slip off the throttle body once and my car sounded like i was strangling her. you guys need to think about what you are doing. just go out and buy an intake.
