in progress from an earlier feed...
i have though of an easier and cheaper way to immitate the venom induction kit!!
i have put my K&N air filter in a piece of steel air ducting that my mates use at work and ran a air feed from that directly to my front grill, looks good, not tried it yet though.
pictures are to follow!!
think a tutorial is in need if all works right!!

u can never get unlimited air flow, works the same way a viper kit does really

what ya do is put it in a sealed tube, with an air feed at the front and 4 more around the sides (ie: top, bottom and both sides). Then theres no chance of limited air 
might have a go at this when i buy a new filter

yea looks abit like MikeH's...looks good although wack some sealant around the thing, stop any of the air leaking out and it would be a viper rip off 
has it made any difference having your viper rip off from just having the original K&N filter?
also, anyone got an idea where i can get the metal surround from? & price?

yea i can imagine, its not exactly small, but then again im sure foke with vipers have a similar problem.
Does it move about at all?
eitherway mate, let us know if its improved it at all...coz it might make me (and i would think a few others) to get off our bums and do something like that

your gonna get really bad air flow through that silver bit... it looks like creased up tin foil get some straighter tubin and it'll be better still
