cheers dude, once youve cut the hole then attached the pipe to the circular thing(lol) do you need to tie it on or anything?

Always wondered why people dont use some sort of cheap filter system to prevent flies/gravel/water going into their aid feed like below, it may stop a few CFM per minute, but better than getting an air filter full of sh*te.

Was just about to say the same... lots of stuff to get in the way. Possible to route one down to offside wheel arch, but very hard to get down infront of rad.

 

[eves]

^^^ oh really? hmmm what you think is the best way to do it then?

has anyone else done it with a normal 172 then?

 

[eves]

and how does the attachment stick to the filter



HELPPP

 

[The Hoff]

Duck tape....it sticks anything....



*Please dont duck tape it.

 

[Ali]

Thing is...Limited knowledge here, is the pipe is too long its counter productive and if its too flexible/soft, the pipe can contract and starve the engine of air...The best route/Most interesting route was dun my eskibests new K&N jobby. Soz canny help you on positioning, Mike172 the boy to ask id imagine.

 

[eves]

cool....will pm him dude.
just had a look and your right about the lack of space!!
and how the feck do you get the grill off lol..

 

[Ali]

jus make sure your in a good mood when u start.

 

[eves]

haha paying a mechanic to do it.....

dont think hes realised what a awkward job it is lol...

 

[Fred@BTM]

[eves]
