Fitted an induction kit on friday.Its not the best but its getting plently of cold air.I've attached a tumble dryer pipe to directly onto the heatsheld, the pipe then leads to the bottom part of the bumber.I've had no heat problems with it yet.Response is alot better and so is the sound.Went b&q today i noticed they sell the silver pipes £12 a piece though for 2.5 meters )

no adaptor needed.Went straight on...fits like a glove.I know its nothing special, its a cheapo filter, put the main thing is that it sounds better and the car is alot more responsize on the pedal.

It wont melt unless its in contact with the manifold or a hot pipe. If its not toucing anything or only touching a little it will be alright. THIS IS THE EXACT IDEA I WAS SUGGESTING recently! He has done an excellent job.You can get aluminium heat resistant tubing...but this will be fine for the moment.
Job well done.

bloody hell
Just taken the pipe off and did a drive round my block.Its sounding amazing! lol.Big load grunt but only at high revs
Might just rest the pipe near the filter for now.I wanna keep this bad boy sound on
Oh and i've just sraped my bumber on the neighbors wall.I had to go up his drive so i could reverse into mine.I was being a cocky little driver and not taking my time.Started backing it in, next thing. boom, scratchhhhhhh.SHIT!
Its left caribic blue paint all over his wall
I've just taken a short look at it, i'm too scared to see the full extent yet.
Got matching spray paint so ill have to have a go painting it.Shit....
Good news about the filter grunt though
I'll post a pic up in a bit.
