Yeahhhhhh i have a whole crap ton of holes in my B&W airbox in that exact same spot, works great and didn't even get wet in torrential Portland rain storm with inches of standing water. I just meant you should do anything else first, then experiment with airbox mods so you only have to jet once. If its a toy, you could run a nice stage 6 pod filter and it would sound sick. But start with the holes, tuning an open filter cvk sucks. Back to the emissions stuff (don't tell the EPA I do this lol). Yes you take most of the hoses off but have to leave a few important ones. I don't exactly remember where the charcoal canister is on the movie, but anything that's a black box or cylinder and had vacuum hoses you can safely assume you can rip it out. Here, take a good picture of your under seat area (with seat bucket out) and I'll circle where to block off and take out, and what needs to stay. It's the same for every 4t (newer ones at least) and i think I did a write up on one here. If you attempt it, just remember to block off any vacuum lines that go to the intake. You'll hear it hiss if you forget anything.
