Zeezeebaba Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Apologies I've tried the search function but no joy. I have a 54 plate DE and today purchased an 06 airbox. The only difference I can see is the size of the "trumpet" in the box. Is this right please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yes...the 06 rev up airbox has the bigger velocity stack inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Velocity stack Such a grand name for what is essentially a metal trumpet end and mine isn't even attached I need to stick it on with something. Gasket gel maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Oh maybe it's just a standard pre 06 box with a bigger velocity stack placed on top. But yeah use a high temp silicone to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 I've just looked at some pictures of both boxes and it looks like the stack is just an add on to an earlier box. I just need to re - attach mine. It fits in tight but I just wanted to ensure it stays there. I have an HKS filter to replace the OEM one too. It's really just the prelude to a plenum spacer as she's already been uprev tuned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Sounds like you may have my kit in an earlier box. Just silicone it in with automotive silicone. Dont use the kitchen stuff as it can affect the MAF sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) It's in ok I just needed a few dabs of silicone to secure the larger trumpet ring into the smaller one. Unless I already had a later box installed by the previous owner which is also a possibility.It was a nice tight fit.

GrahameJ Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 My guess is that later 06 box has a single larger trumpet. I have Flyboy's conversion fitted, although I silver soldered the new trumpet into the original 04 one, rather than using silicone. It's best unriveted from the box using this method!

Zeezeebaba Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I did a search online to look at comparative pictures of the two boxes. Every search I did came back as basically the same box but the 06 one has a larger trumpet section inserted into the existing hole as the seam line can be seen in the pictures I looked at. The larger trumpet on mine slots in tight and held ok without bonding but I put a few dabs of silicone on it just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
