Default A quick Q about RST airbox

Is it better to have a Cone airfilter, standard airbox with uprated panal filter, or a airbox and uprated filter, but drill the airbox?
as i have all three I was woundering if someone could say which is best.

Standard airbox with K&N. Drilling it may help a little, but making sure its drilled in the right place!!

Well, on the pre-filtered side.

I have seen them where people drill on the side after the filter.

Other than that, its all good really. The more you drill it, the dirtier the air filter will get and it's not going to make a massive difference. Some cut the whole front out of the airbox.
