Clio 16V - Air filter parts

[Rossa]

I bought my clio and took the K&N off for insurance purposes. I then bought a filter box (and new filter) and fitted that. There is a lot of air induction noise and I have discovered that I am missing the end box bit. The bit (parts) that connects the box to the inner wing and the other filter.

Does this matter?

Am I getting hot air in to the engine?

Am i likely to suck stuff I dont want?

Where can I buy those extra bits if I need them and what are they called?

Thanks.

should be a flexi duct under the airbox to a holder on the subrame, then a duct that goes to the inner wing

You could make one with sh*tty halfords duct if you wanted, mine goes to the blank in the front bumper

Thanks for the info...

What did you make the mounting bracket thing in blank in the front bumper out of?

Duct tape - the silver hose?

Weight, thats very nice. Im currently making an intake along those lines but was going to make a fiberglass duct to replace ma foglamp. what size is that ducting youve got, 6.3mm? Ive thought of getting some silicon hose at about £40 / meter. that flexiduct looks perfect, a trip to #halfords is needed.
