Go with it mod it how you want to but, I just don't agree with just randomly drilling holes and adding random household parts on your car. One if you drill the airbox you just voided the warranty on it. Now not saying drilling the intake is illegal but, in you statement people have tried different things to get the R53 where it is today some of those mods can be illegal( ie not CARB or DOT approved). Some of the mods that I can think of that are illegal is using pvc as intake tubing, welding a coffe can on your exhaust, and going as as to remove the exhaust. There is a certain level of pride you should take in your car and redneck, ricer, and numerous other names modding is just not the way to get there. Thats just how I feel about it. I have more respect for someone who makes an educated descion and purchase a product with some kind of R&D or have the technical know how to be able to build their own parts. But good thing we have this forum so that we can share our points of view.

I think ......... that someone should drill a hole up through their bonnet, mount a SS stack and attach cone filter right in the DLOS and get the ultimate in cold air intake-abilities. Then we'd never have to talk about the CAI stuff again................. SO............. who wants to have the first go on their brand new R56!??!?!?

Outcome
when the New Mini was new, this was the first intake mod done. This and the Hot Air Intake. You can do a variation of this by making the hole to the cowl area bigger to get more fresh air in that way.
Anyway, modding is about trying things and finding out what works. I'm a big fan of low cost experimentation. Don't let the nay sayers get you

Ok this may be dumb but....
brother in law uses a k&n drop in, in his f150. the other day he got some idea and decided to drill holes in the air box top. keeping the filter in place but to let more air in. would this have any relevance? would it make any sense in our mini's?
i'm eventually going to get around to a cai (k&n typhoon i think) but this just got me thinking/wondering what i'd get on a thread if i asked that

well I did it after reading other threads. I gained about 5hp according to my Dashcommand and my exhaust sounds wicked. I just drilled into the opposite side that the other little hole was and made that hole an inch.
