Default driver airbox

on an old early mk2 gti i once modified the airbox by drilling some
big holes. this gave a nice throaty, rally like sound when putting my
foot down.

can i do anything similar with a carbed 1800 driver?? i'm not a boy
racer but i liked the deep sound which only happened when giving it
full throttle.

You are likely to cause problems with carb icing if you do.
