cold air feed

[Chaz]

gonna make a cold air feed for my piperx!

been told i need ducting and can get some from halfords for £12 or will any industrial ducting do??

[ka$h]

Any sort of ducting hose that will direct air will do it mate. The bigger the better :thumbs:

[Chaz]

looks like a trip to wickes and focus is in order!

[ka$h]

Might as well, it should be cheaper. try and get the aluminium ducting, as this obviously wont melt and will help dissipate any engine heat quite quickly from the hose

[Chaz]

reckon it'll improve the sound?
where do i run it to? where the fogies are or just anywhere around near the front bumper -away from engine?!

[ka$h]

I don't know much about the sound, but it should improve performance. The colder the feed, the better the mix, and the better performance.

You can feed it from anywhere from the front, so as to force air along it when driving. Probably best from the lower grille, as you have a larger aperture to catch the air in. Oh and yeah away from the engine as best as possible to avoid additional hea ton the hose

couldnt be arsed to get it on weds but gonna get some today :)

Are you using the original cold air feed that went to the airbox as well?

[Chaz]

Are you using the original cold air feed that went to the airbox as well?

Yeh, you can never have too many cold air feeds, apart from when it looks silly :lol:

My C is goin in2 Vx for a few little jobs. Gonna order the SRi cross hatch lower while i am there. What i was think of was while the bumber is off, removing the lower fogs & use the holes to run cold air feeds to the filter. Go for the bad boy look.

What u think guys??

[strat]

personally i wouldnt do it............i have always been a big fan of front fogs :D so i'd leave them and just put the air feed somewhere else

[C4RSA]

id like to expand the current air feed pipe and make it larger and ideas?

[ka$h]

What were you thinking C4, adding another hose entirely, or adding to the top plastiic duct
