before anyone orders anything i thought i best say, that although the pipe is quite flexible, its not flexible enough to say bend round things, and at sharp angles due to the nylon ribs.

only use this pipe if you have a semi straight path from your airbox to the point where you want it.

Mine basically drops straight from the air box curving slightly straight down the back of the bumper. I then made a 90 degree bend in the pipe at the bottom using a plastic piece of guttering

If this is your intended setup then the pipe is perfect

:funk: Word up steve! :funk:

So did you use a 90 degree plastic guttering piece? And how did you attach it to the hose?

Anyone done this on the lcr?
Got a nice mesh already there, just behind the fog light.
Do you lead the new pipe to the back of this?
Might nip the garden centre tomorrow a get some pipe just wanted to know how/where to fit it

Yes it's been done but it's tricky due to the LCR's extra intercooler, intercooler piping runs up that wing leaving only very small gaps. Probably 50 or so threads if you look back with people trying to get a clean airflow with the LCR.

Now it may well be possible to get a feed to low level but whenever I tried it I gave up.

Most people have resorted to ducting round the battery and a scoop of some type just above the radiator behind the central grill.

Hey Steve, I rang that place Evenproducts, and they said they do 3 or 4 inch but not 3.5?

Can you recall how much it cost and for what length, so I can go back armed with more info?

Cheers - I'm a pest aint I :)

Well ive now definitly routed an 80mm feed down to the fog light aperture. the only concern now that ive got, is that i get NO noise from the RamAir, whereas before it was quite noticeable. The flow in the pipe looks good, ie No kinks but it is puzzling me
