Do you have pictures of FD modified stock airbox with hoses running to nose?

Does anyone have pictures of the stock airbox with hoses running to the nose? (either installed or out of the hood)

I've read the how-to but I would like to see it so I don't screw up on cutting out holes at the wrong place.

Also, some of you use flexible rubber hose from a vacuum machine. Someone said that the hose collapses under high RPM, any one else can verify this?

How much difference did you notice in performance and noise after cutting out the box? Also, is there much difference btwn just cutting a few holes vs adding hoses to the nose in addition.

Thanks guys,

I have some pics of the Mod I did on My stock fd airbox I did not use hoses - just added a baffle/duct a'la M2 from the GAP (between rt side of rad & frame) to the bottom of the box and cut some holes in the bottom of the box, to the right of the 'Rad Hose Bulge' I will post the Pic's later tonight or in the AM from home.

EDIT:
I have uploaded 3 photos to the gallery
3rd gen/enginephotos/airbox1,2,3
