GAB mod

Can someone please link me the How-to and pics of the ghetto air box mod? I want to do it today but I don't know where to drill the holes or how big they have to be

4 1 inch holes with a spade bit is the way to go. completed in car pic below...
obviously do this with the plastic filter holder piece in hand...dont do this while on the car. not much a how to needed beyond that...I also sanded the 4 holes down as smooth as possible after as well.

Has anyone else experienced a huge sucking noise associated with this mod?

I did it without cutting the holes. I just used double sided foam tape to hold the filter onto the housing. That way I can put it back to stock if I want to. I also used a bent hanger but really the double sided tape is holding it in well.
