Re: Specs on a "Modded Airbox"

     I followed European Car's method:
     1) Use a K&N Air Filter (The type that fits in the original airbox.
     2) Keep your preheat system intact
     3) Remove the basket shaped mesh filter from inside the airbox
     4) Remove the cone/horn shaped tube from inside the airbox. It has a
     small opening (2" that opens to a 3") that restricts airflow into the
     MAF.

     If you want to keep preheat intact, I would drill holes in the airbox.
     The factory cold air vent system works fine. (If you want to do
     anything, mess with the cold air duct and make it bigger)

     You won't tell a difference noise-wise. Except for a high pitched
     barely-audible whistle (like a turbocharger) at above 5800rpm. You
     will see most of the power gains (3-5hp?) at above 5000rpm. If you
     have a performance exhaust, you might get a little more.

I am convinced now that a Modded Airbox is the way to go.. However in these
parts everyone has a P-FLO. So I have no idea where to start by modding the
airbox.. Any help will be most helpfull..

P.S. Are there any direct replacements for the stock headlights on the 97
GLX, that anyone knows of?
