I have been researching this a little bit and see that everyone is buying a new fitting with a larger diameter orifice to allow more fluid flow. Has anyone thought about drilling out the stock one? Would save some money for sure. I was thinking about doing this with my car and am curious if anyone has done anything similar. If so, what were your results?

Thanks

According to http://www.zeckhausen.com/cdv.htm , drilling is not a good/safe idea.

Drilling introduces metal filings into your fluid line.
