airbox/two hole mod
just wondering..if i use a hole saw and cut a hole in the front of my airbox and then stick some pipe from the hole in the airbox to the front bar/ grilles on my vt if that will work instead of doing the hole 2 hole mod thingy?
it may even be the same haha if any one can give me suggestions..its a stock as a rock vt series 2 s pack. im going to eventually get a a full exhaust and tune up soo what can i do?
Check out the "how to" section... it's got a few items under "CAI" that document really well what you're talking about, there's even pictures and such.

That basically is the two hole mod; the VT equivelent, as we have no room to fit a PVC pipe :P

no you dont use a hole saw
you mark the hole one the air box then get a drill bit and drill around the mark of the hole then you file it smooth

mmm i was wandering that...i was thinking of using that aggie pipe stuff thats fairly bendible but doesnt the engine bay get to hot/pipe over heating?
yea thats the problem with that method you do suck in heaps of hot air thats why they came up with this way AIR INTAKE MOD COMPLETE - Better than 2-hole mod?

at idle you may suck some hot air but soon as you are moving you would be getting cool air from behind the headlight

cool cool does any one no the part numbers for a new air box.....i think im gonna buy a brand new one and then cut the hole out of that and then just drop it in..?
is it really worth buying another box? does any one no how much they are?

I just made up the intake pipes for the 2 hole mod and found an easy way to flare the pipe ends. Get a COLD 2litre bottle of coke, flare the hot end of the pipe over it the top of it after heating the pvc pipe on the bbq burners, takes about 3 minutes to flare both pipes, and the cold coke bottle cools the pipe to the right shape! EASY!
I actually got an empty bottle of **** and filled it with water and put it in the freezer for a firm edge, very easy to do

ive done it. i found it just didnt do much my CAI is hundreds of times better. all you get is abit of noise and a little extra throttle response nothin major
has anyone adapted a CAI to fit the vz? I have heard alot of for/against argument on the 2 hole mod and think if you could isolate the airbox a bit better so air only comes from the front it would be better.
I have dont the mod and notice the "growl" noise more, and slightly better response, but I think after idle and heat soak when at lights etc, the power is not there like when at speed.
I think if you could isolate the intake more it would definitly be better.
No way am I paying 300 for this setup
