Fair enough... was going to advise shopping around a bit as £105 fitted per corner is the norm at the moment.
Probee, Will my car perform better with the air CIA not attached?
Just got my new pads as wellFit them tonight - Screw studying.
There was something i wanted to ask you as well but i cant remember what it was now
You'll have to run it and see mate... mine is definately better with the CIA on now i have the new foglight
before it was a bit touch and go. let me know if you have probs with the pads. i'll pm you my mobile number..fitting my FMIC tonight... really looking forward to it.
I think he meant off with the CIA blowing on the filter? If air is not forced down the CIA it will restrict the filter.
Just got your number Probee - Thanks
now im confused.
when the FMIC is on i will be making a new bigger intake and i will have a shiney replacement foglight going spare

i'll take it off of your hands!
lol.... now im gonna feel bad whoever i give it to..
FMIC on and the boost seems more consistent, not sure i would notice the difference so much with the weather we are having but we'll see when its hot.
i have a few tips for anyone who is thinking of doing it.

I didn't fit my pads as it was raining and i got about 3mm left on mine so may as well use that up.
I cant really hear the induction kit with the CIA on. Without it, its ROARS. Not sure what to do now. Might cut a few holes in the CIA right by the filter???
Post some pics Probee

Worst place to cut holes would be near the filter! Whole point is that the filter will only be sucking in cold air... If you cut holes it'll suck the heat in through them.... plus it makes the rest of the CAI kinda null n void!
Its still roaring you just cant hear it as much as the sound is now coming out from the end of the CAI, rather than from the end of the induction, you've probably found your dump is quieter too, as the "echo" has further to travel....Unless you have the Split R...

Got a splitter R.
Well air will be forced down the CIA and the filter will surely suck this in (mostly) but the hole will give the noise somewhere to escape to??
Ill run it as it is for a week or so!! See how it does i might make a custom adapter that the CIA bolts on to the the adapter on the the filter. Might be had to picture but i have a good image in my head
hehe

It took longer than it should at 3 hrs because i did it sort of in the door of the garage and it was cramped..
I'll have to see about the St-Ives meet.. i'll ask 'er in doors' if im allowed..

Looks spot on! I'm a big fan of keeping things like that quite discreet, so I like that fact it doesn't stand out too much, but you can still see it peeking away from behind the grill
