as long as you drill it before the filter you wont have problems. but if you want a roar get a cheap kn or pipercross they were loud as hell on the furio i had.

on most cars ive had they acctully run better with drilled airbox plus a panel filter
induction kits just tend to suck in hot air from the engine bay

induction kits just have the filter
