Agreed, unless you make a cold air box to fit round it, with some induction pipes feeding it. mmmmm.......would sound montserous.

It does sound really nice - 3500 - 4500 rpm and you are turning head at 200 meter (this is guessed you under stand.)

I have no problem with mine melting and i dont see why it would. it is mabe out of the same meterials that you already find under the bonnet. I dont have a cold air box but do have two cold air feeds.

As for loss of power - i have not noticed any drop in power. but it does seem to react better and high speed/reves.

Fit it and see for your self you can always install the original back if you dont like it.

unless you do wha i done to the original box and destroy it upon removal

How did you do that

it all unbolts and unclips took me 10 mins - this is on the 172 though and the airbox is at the front
