You sure can i did to my 04 sv6,went to N.V.U. in thomastown and got the last one from them for $40,guy there reckons someone from some speed shop brought 20 of them,they were going like hotcakes.After fitting the bottom of the hsv airbox,mates reckon sounds a bit like a v8 at w.o.t.,also can now hear the exhaust a little bit.In a couple of weeks getting one of those BMC flat panel filters they use in the F1 cars,should give it more of a deeper note.

you have the option of buying a new one(monaro hsv ss watever) or simply cut the second hole in the one you already have. same resault just depends if you can be bothered cutting a hole(its more of a rectangle shape) or spending the money

This is true went to get my car valueated and when one the dealers' drove my car said it seems more responsive than a lot of other sv6s',i said it has a hsv airbox,no problems with that.

Oh ok cool, now is it a HSV part or are they on all the V8's?? eg. SS Calais etc etc? Cos went to Zupps Holden and asked for a Hsv intake and the guy said "Is it for a HSV" i said no and he reckons i you need a HSV build number before they can order HSV parts. So i asked if they are on the SS (intake with extra hole/s) he reckons nah. Its just me but he didnt convince me lol, i know i should beleive them cos they "know what there talking bout" but some of the other threads would lead me and others to beleive otherwise. But above all i know i can trust you guys on here to give honest unbiased opinions. So thanx to all!!

Why are you wasting your time and money trying to buy the bottom of the air box with a second hole in it.

Spend $5 at your local bunnings or hardware store and do it your self. It is very very easy.

Nah he's right, my VZ SS did not have one like that. I put in the second hole myself. Interestingly a VX SS intake box has 2 holes.:whistling
