this will also effect the air preassure inside the box and also more heat may get in during traffic!


not sure if these are important factors buddy, but i thought id point them out! ;)


nah the hole is tiny, like 3mm, just enough to let water out.

I was talking about the box alone, the only difference being the ribs are missing.
Yes you have a cold air feed and an aftermarket filter :)

and the battery relocation brackets ;) :whistle: :)

here anyone know if a 1.6 leon has an airbox like that? sorry if that sounds stupid- i have no knowledge of cars :rolleyes:


i think all the airboxes are the same yes!

i know the filter sizes are so the boxes will be.

even if they were not, the principle would be exactly the same! :yes:
