it best be he is supposed to be taking her to spa in June
^yeah its going, don't worry!
right some pictures for you all, postman was busy today!
Airbox is back from Reverie, its had a custom filter tray made housing 2 x K&N pannel filters
now with twin 100mm ports (old ones were 85mm)
some 4inch "donkey dick" arrived from DT, apparently its safe upto 180degC
for those of you that know, the V6 only has 1 air intake behind the factory passenger side pod, it also happens to be 100mm (4inch) now my fancy airbox has twin 4inch ports
now how do you split 1 4inch feed into 2?? you can either pay for someone to fabricate a 4inch "Y" pipe or fabricate one yourself, which is what i was about to do, but by the time i buy the material, spend 2 hours cutting/welding blah blah blah it was easier to busy this
£8 from a dust extraction company!

@ waitey
when i ordered the airbox originally, i ordered it with 2 85mm ports to use in conjunction with 2 BMC CDA's as i thought that was the way to go. Then when trying to package it so the filters fitted under the engine covers was basically "a mare"!!!
so i decided to bin the BMC's and have a panel filter and tray fitted inside the box, and at the same time have the old 85mm ports ripped out and 2 100mm ports put in (would've cost more "repairing" the box to 1 4 inch port than it was to have 2 new ones put in)
also if i'd stuck with the 85mm ports i would've had a few problems
1) 85mm ducting = hard to come buy (4inch that i now use is easy to come by)
2) i would've had to have a Y piece fabricated anyway 2 x 85 into 1 x 100
so its a bit of a c**k about and wasted money, but i'm happy with it now!

Lovely stuff
i can't find a pic but the current V8 Vantage has a in single inlet to the inlet manifold but has twin airboxes, the intake duct is about the right size for what you're after, you couly use th eintact duct to convert a single filter to twin port into the carbon airbox
