I didn't take my battery out. It's just above freezing outside. You can see the holes good enough with the battery in there.
Picture #1: Taken from the driver's side of the car, up close to the hole. You can see the big hole in the front of the airbox. That hole is underneather the air filter. If you take apart your airbox/intake, this is easy to understand. This hole was made with a 3" hole saw. I drilled 2, 3" diameter holes and then one more to connect both holes. That made one big hole.
Picture #2: Taken from the driver's side of the car further away from the air box. Same as the first picture. Holes are cut directly behind the battery.

Picture #3: Taken from the driver's side of the car. Notice the 1.5" diameter hole in the fender side of the airbox. This hole is also underneath the air filter.

Hope that helped...

i wouldnt gut the whole airbox - then youre just suckin hot air of the engine block, which is obviously not beneficial or good. by drilling holes youre gonna get some hot air but i would try to minimize that by cutting on sides away from the block.

I guess you can cut it anyway you want. I saw in another post someone cut the whole bottom part of the air box off. That's basically the same as a Short-Ram intake but without a Cone filter. I don't see how mine is any worse than no air box at all.
