Default LT1 airbox hack

i did it today when i was bored, and cut the whole face off the box, so the filter is exposed a hell of alot more. i think the merv knows what im talking about.

i felt a sotp difference in throttle response and different exhaust tone

is there really THAT much of a difference? I put a K&N filter in and didn't feel anything, although I'm sure there was a slight difference, only noticable on a dyno.

All he did was cut the face off of the Stock Airbox. Nothing really to it..
