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

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.
