would it be safe to silicone my cold air intake into the airbox, i reckon i could cos its before the filter so no ****s gonna get in the engine, most of the air my car is sucking is from the gaps in the hole i cut in the airbox, thx

Only if you use a natural cure silicone such as Silastic 1080. The acid cure silicones give off an acidic vapour when curing. These vapours will destroy your oxygen sensor and at between $100-$200 a pop it gets rather expensive(speaking from personal experience with my VL. Destroyed about 3 when they where worth about $300 before i figured it out)
 

What's the difference between understeer and oversteer?
Understeer is when the driver is scared.
Oversteer is when the passenger is scared.

yes will still effect the sensor. Only use sensor safe/natural cure silicone. It does take longer to cure but saves you alot of money.
