evest Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Well it 'aint exactly pretty, but for minimal cost less than £5) and a 10 minute job, this will hopefully give me a bit of extra cold air to the short ram: It will require a little further modification soon where it enters the OEM airbox snorkel, as I have a CF cooling panel on the way which feeds into it. This will also have the bonus of hiding the cheapo flexi-duct pipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Well, the air duct pipe may not be pretty, but it certainly looks functional and the carbon inlet certainly looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steady Zeddy Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 You don't seem to be running the pipe from the CF inlet that you cut into your bumper? Would seem to me to make more sense to attach it directly off that surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the pic shows it very well - should have done a WIP photo! It does attach directly on the the CF inlet - the bit you can see through the inlet in the second pic is the inside of the pipe. I bent the wire frame of the duct to shape and snipped the corner for a snug fit - then a mix of double sided sticky pads, tie wraps and insulation tape. Hopefully this will hold up to road test - if not I'll reinforce some other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh - I can see that now - it looked to me like it was bypassing the inlet to lower down the bumper. Might make sense to attach it to the back of the CF inlet - maybe bond it on plus tie-bind/O ring clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andlid Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 was hoping it was a bit more towards the brakes mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 If its functional its good, besides no one will see that with the bling on your engine cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Im experimenting with this sort of thing,but dont have the duct in the bumper,so running mine from the grille. Looks pants at the mo,but wanted to see if it worked,and it does,so in the process of making something abit better and longer term solution.
