Has anybody tried fitting a shorter hose between the TB and the airbox on a Mk2172/cup in order to get more room to properly fit an IK. The standard hose looks like it could lose about an inch? Also, anybody tried relocating some of the radiator hoses that are in the way if you try to drop an IK feed straight down to the lower grille?

ok, the 90 degree black hose connecting the airbox to the main throttle body inlet. The end that connects to the airbox (or any replacement filter you happen to be using) is corrugated.
AnywayZ: Ze question iZ: can this hose be slightly shortened by about an inch so that my BMC CDA airbox (16cm in length) can be fitted and leave me with enough room at the front of it for a nice wide angle inlet pipe bend.
The only interesting piccy on the site is the Hill power job in Ak-Uks car where Nick seems to have replaced the hose in question with a bit of red silicon hose.
If you can cut it and get a seal i dont see why not, it wont harm it.
I dont have any of my pictures on this computer, all the ones of how i routed big 100mm ID wire supported ducting to the front grillle and the replacement silicone elbow.
Wont be getting to that comp till summer! lol
Its and easy job, the part comes with the Viper kit.
