Glad you have removed the acoustic valve!
Agree that fog light area is more direct. But as a subtle alternative I thought I'd do this. Plus I slash cut the pipe so avoided a 45degree bend in it. I tested it with a hairdryer and it was pushing nice amounts of air up through to it. I would guess the hairdryer would imitate a 10-15mph wind
Think the other pipe is the air con leak pipe for condensation. Thats what I can make it from the photo anyway. Trophydan, let us know what you think after the removal. What is your new air feed gonna be like?
Go for the route I did here mate:
Car is slightly louder, although was already loud due to open induction kit :evil:

Well becuase I already had open cone on mine, I declared it, so since modifying the air feed, it makes no difference
Personally I dont think it is even worth telling insurance co if you remove the valve and change air feed. At the end of the day it was an air feed, and still is (only bigger!)
Thats shocking. Might be also interesting to see what temperature increases are shown when sat in traffic at night. Do you details/info on the bit of kit you use to get these temps?
Yeah see my pics on page two of where I have put my air feed down past the passenger headlight. The acoustic valve and tubing gets in the way otherwise!
Sounds very interesting mat. Make sure you post the results up. I would place the sensor on the open air filter and see how much cold air is getting there :approve:
Arch liner is held on by a few plastic plugs which cost about 10p each to replace if you do chew then up whilst pulling them :approve:
7MAt above helped me with my acoustic valve removal, only took about 30mins!
