Ah ok, I see. Wonder where they got the replacement hose(s) from? Would look a little neater maybe, if anything. Will have a think about it, but its not top of my priority list lol
I built mine (different people off eBay) there's no direct replacement. I'll post a picture up after work. There is a gain bit no idea how much, only because you cut out the 180 degree bend.

Looks quite neat that. But intake looks a little close to the engine for me. Surely it must soak up the heat?
Am leaving the car off in the morning to get H&R springs fitted ... Looking forward to seeing the end result. Really hope the car will sit ok and not look silly low.

I don't think it does tbh. It put out 197BHP on a RR on Sunday with a cat back exhaust.
H&R spring arnt to low, it'll look awesome!!

That's pretty good gains going by r.r. output. Cat-back will hardly make much difference I would think. I know r.r. results need to be taken with a pinch of salt, but it's looking like you have at least 10-15bhp gain ... Quite impressive if that is purely down to the intake.
Forge say there's a 8-12BHP gain so looks like I gained the top end.
When I had the same set up as you, there's a little bit of metal sticking up where the 180 degree bend is, with the vibration of the engine and the movement of the car it pierced the hose so try keep an eye on it.

Will do. I put extra tape around sections of the hose as you can see in my pics. Had that problem before. I contacted forge and they kindly sent me out a new hose f.o.c. I also used some double-sided sticky form to hold the hose in place and stop it vibrating / moving. Seems to have done the job so far.
Be careful when you show your car to Elliot, all he'll keep saying is that its a monster truck! lol

Good! I don't want the car to be very low ... Just low enough to reduce the gap in the arches lol

So, got the Boc lowered today on H&R springs. Am delighted with the results and how it sits now. One quick picture that was taken ...
Will get a few more up in the next couple of days.
Thanks again Harry for your hard work

Good practical height that, sits well!
Yip...am pleased with the height. Didn't want it sitting too low, wheels up and under the arches etc. Am also pleased to report that the car manages to pass over the speed bumps in my area with no problems. Was thinking that the splitter would catch / scrape, but thankfully it is fine.

Looking good! Are these the H&R Front lowering 25mm Rear lowering 40mm ones? Looking to get them for mine!

Yip, that's them exactly. Good ride height and comfortable enough when driving. The car feels quite well planted.
