I've seen it done before, I'm just not sure what the process is. I took off my dual snorkel. underneath the filters I take it you gotta hollow it out, but how?

 

Are u talkin about cutting out the air boxes underneaith the filters??

Cause that what I did.

 

I used a dremmel with a cutting disk. It worked great.

I'm assuming you're asking "how", because if you can't tell what to cut by simply looking at what's under the air cleaners, you'll probably hurt yourself trying anyway.

 

 

ummmm kinda new to CAI but what would be the point of cutting out the air box?

 

it depends if he wants to do the ram air modification.

 

less restriction for air flow

 

Hey guys, I have a dremel, and I think I want to cut this crap out under the filters when I put in my K&Ns and air foil. I was just wondering what the point of these plastic pieces are? I mean, why the hell did GM have them there? One more question, after I cut this stuff out, will I have a problem with the filters keeping a tight seal? -89IRO

 

Baffles to kill the sucking sound. Restrict its power.

 

Oh, how about if I will have a problem with the filters sealing correctly? Also, will this "sucking" sound be noticable in inside of the car? -89IRO

 

shoudnt have any problems sealing, just cut from underneathe.

Yes the sound is noticible, alot more from the outside.

 

:sillylol:

 

I've always thought of that sucking noise as a GOOD SOUND...

 

it is a good sound. But you knwo how some peopel are **** about squeeks and sounds. people shoulda bought a caddilac instead.

 

So are you saying I need to get under the car, and cut it from there? -89IRO

 

No, you can take the panel out.

What part of so cal are you in 89iro If yru close by id say drop by and ill help you out with it.

 

I'm in little Glendora, you've probably never heard of it. It is next to Azusa, covina, san dimas, etc. Anyways, I just took the dual snorkel thing off of the TPI just to take a look. I noticed on each side of each of the air boxes, there are two tiny bolts hold a plastic piece in, I was wondering if I take these out, would it allow more air to pass through? I hope you know what I'm talking about because I know it sounds confusing. I just need my dad to bring home the small socket set so I can take them out and I'll see from there. To tell you the truth cutting these things to **** doens't sound real fun to me..... -89IRO

 

its super duper easy. take a sawzall (or just a saw) and cut the plastic baffles out. then take a dremel (or sawzall or saw) and cut holes in the plastic peice that sperates the airdam/radiator are fromt he intake side.

 

Alright, I will really consider this when I get my K&Ns and airfoil! Thanks for the help. -89IRO

 

Tonight, I removed the two plastic baffle things under each filter (the things held by two screws each), have not driven it yet so I don't know if I got anything out of it though, I doubt it. I was thinking of drilling like maybe (2) 1/2" holes under each filter in the remaing plastic, I am just really trying to avoid cutting the thing like crazy. Wouldn't this drilling really make a significant amount of more air? Tell me what you think custom. -89IRO
