Figured I would post this here since I haven't really seen much info on this. I made some cutouts of the stock airbox today, the goal being to get a bit more noise, without having to buy the $500 AFE intake. The end result was more or less not impressive, there was hardly any sound difference, I didn't notice any positives or negatives so I will just have cutouts now I guess. I did not block off the original inlet route.
