well stuff like that aint too dear, i got mine (as per this pic) from a local ducting place on an industrial estate (about £4 for 2m, it was an off cut)
seal it to the airbox then run it to somewhere cold, much better than a drilled box (ive measured the intake temps..)
Arrhar, great stuff. What did you use to seal it?
Cheers.
my airbox has a 'warm air intake' that goes to the exhaust manifold... it is of no use to me any more so that was modified and the longer 50mm grey hose added so make it breath from somewhere cold.
the hose is held on at the back with a jubilee clip.
as for sealing yours on, id imagine most silicons/glues would do the trick

Lots of people I know use these guys for their CAF ducting.

Sadly not, it's the weekend of my other half's 21st (which I'm gutted about!!). She didn't want an RR day as a present sadly. She prefers being my I-VTEC meet co-pilot.
No more driving meets this year either so I'm not sure what to do. I'll happily give you something for it, maybe to post it and buy yourself a drink with?

Ok thanks. I was thinking of using self amalgamating tape haha.
That CAF duting is more than I paid for the K&N air filter!

Why isnt the pipe headed to the front of the airbox?
Out of interest, do you find the car picks up better from low revs and in higher gears with the new panel filter? I've recently fitted a Green cotton filter to mine and just wondered whether it was placebo effect
How dirty was your old one?
Relatively clean to be honest, throttle body was clean too. It did have a strange looking stain on it though, possibly sucked in from another car belching carbon?

My original panel filter was clogged, don't ever think it has been changed.
It seems to pick up nicely on freezing mornings.

Do you have a saxo mate?
Mine is a dirty grey colour ha!
I do indeed mate - 52 plate VTR.
I think the filter was changed on the last service and it's only done ~3k miles since then. Dunno about you, but my airbox was pretty much full of dead bees
because there is already a pipe in the front going to the inner wing... but its about 1inch diameter and very restrictive.

i couldnt say the different filter element made the biggest difference on mine, i went with a foam one as i wanted the best filtration, the differences in filter element restriction are basically nil, but paper ones clog quicker and cotton gauze ones really do not filter well enough

Yeah, Saxo complete with insect graveyard haha!
The sound is quite good actually, makes me giggle a bit when I floor it

How does the pipe attach to the airbox, it appears to go nowhere.
