Another question about air intake

Is the hole for the washer fluid tank big enough for an air intake tube without cutting?

Well I went with 3" aluminum dryer tubing It sits right below my cone, and exits in the wheel well (took the washer fluid tank out of course). When fully warm I can smoothly run all the way to redline, which I couldnt before. I would lose power at about 6k. So, I think its a success. Now I just need a box to isolate my cone

Oh. And I dont have a digital camera so cant post pics

3" should be cosidered a minimum duct size, so you'll need a hole slightly bigger than that.
