running it up that side of the air box you'd be passing the hot engine so may end up drawing in warmer air?
I've just read this entire thread and a thoughts...I to have been down the smoothed airbox route with green panel filter for quite some time now, I orignially did it after reading about the "turbulance" caused by the fins inside the air box slowing the flow of air past the MAF and on into the engine. I am not a fan of the holes in the air box as way too much dust and hot air is likely to get in...although I can imagine what the noise is like.....however if your going to drill holes in the box and induction kit is prob a better way to go as it will give u much more noise. Each to thier own tho.
I haven't yet increased the size of my air intake, mainly because I got a bit ambitious and got a 6inch diameter tubing but then realised it wouldn't fit! and not got round to it since.
however someone has raised a very good point.....smoothing the air box but the air intake corrigated tubing is far from smooth on the inside...meaning that if turbuance (which is what i was originally led to beleve was the reason for smoothing the box) is what I want to avoid then i dont want to be using a corrigated intake.
However saying that with the increase volume of air the turbulance may not be so much of an issue...or it could be intensified....hmmm maybe im way over thinking all this but It would be good to have a larger smooth intake....any ideas?

could work as long as it fits the hole in the airbox
Now that is modding on the cheap...
