Use whatever size you want. I drilled the holes in my airbox with it still in the truck.

I did that too. I even made some tiny marks in the metal behind the airbox so I unbolted it and coated it with a thick wax to prevent rust. I'll probably clean it up and shoot some spray paint on it some day. Do yourself a favor and undo the 3 bolts that hold the airbox in.

He he, that's OK.
It's getting harder & harder to keep up with posts here isn't it?
I checked in late last night, and there were like 81 new posts since when I had checked in around noon

It's about imposible to keep up here anymore.

Just having a little fun with ya!

I think the consensus is that it improves midrange power a little and that is sounds cool. I had done that mod to my 87 Celica GTS and noticed the same thing. I went right for the FIPK in the Runner.

Happy drilling!
