srobrien Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi folks, just took delivery of my new pipercross intake from CS today. Very happy with the service recieved. Anyway I braved the cold and wet to go out and fit it...it looks the mutts and sounds awsome. Not sure about the red elbow though I will have to see if i can get it coloured orange or something. Also engine needs a good clean and MUST get plenum polished. Enjoy. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 You’re very welcome; it probably took you 30 minutes to unwrap the box/packing… Nice to see that you’ve already fitted your kit, thanks for sharing the photos… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Very nice. You catching a budgie to work this week or are you still off? Maybe a mini zed meet during the week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srobrien Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Very nice. You catching a budgie to work this week or are you still off? Maybe a mini zed meet during the week! Im supposed to be offshore as we speak but i took a trip off as i buggered my back, so i have another 3 weeks at home. A mini meet would be good but my zed is looking a bit sorry for itself and its not booked into the bodyshop till after the 3rd march.

Stew Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'd use heatshrink if it were me. Slip it over, give it a heat and trim it down. Very easy to remove at a later date too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually the best thickness for going round the bend on the elbow. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
