Wtf?? I want my time back. That was the dullest video ever!
I'lll do one sideways at 120mph on the way home.
It's more to show how most people will find it day to day.

This is CS. Most people live a quarter of a mile at a time.
I checked the alignment of the filter and pipe and everything seems to be just fine but as there is some movement I thought I would protect the pipe against the metals work.
The motorcyclists among us may be familiar with the plastic strip you get with aftermarket screens that goes along the edge. Well anyway I used some of this to go along the metal edge. Similar to the pipe insulation mentioned earlier in the thread but takes up less space and is quite neat:

no problem, sorry i got confused too

@TarkMalbot can you buy that rubber separately? Do you know what it's called? I envisioned something similar when I fitted mine but the only thing I could think of was draught excluder type stuff.
Is there any benefit to changing the original throttle body 90 degree for a silicone one? I can only see negatives such as expense, losing the suspension effect of the ribbed section and if you get a cheap 90 you have no breather hose connection.

What are you on about, you could easily do 130+ round the twistys as it can handle like its on rails
I was going to send a link from eBay but there are literally 100's of items in all different lengths and colours. I just put in "motorcycle screen trim".

Better vid. Sounds good and not too over the top.

Tried reaching down and giving them a suggestive tug? Think their clipped in, I think.

Not sure really. My current one didn't have them. On my previous cars I'm sure all I did was grab, squeeze and yank. Ohhh matron
how can i get it out of here? it looks as though it comes off just behind those cables but not really sure? @imprezaworks

I'm sure it just pulls out. Will have a quick search
the pipe has been damaged from trying to pull it out, to the point that i would have to replace the whole pipe, could i just cut the pipe low enough so i can fit the filter in and have the air still blowing through with that in and then my filter sat above it or will that make EMS light come on at all?

It won't set the light on. You can do that but ideally the pipe would be best gone.

Thought I'd share an update.
I replaced the IK with the standard version over Christmas, and run it for a few days to see if it was just a placebo effect upon my intial findings, and as I was going to be travelling hundreds of miles, it has more than enough time to readjust. I found as well as being silent in comparison and allowing my to hear my exhaust again, I found it didn't really want to get moving initially and using the only real upside, which was a little better at pulling from really low down when using high gear and super low revs.
So I changed back, as I still had more journeys to do, so allowed room for readjustment again. I still believe this mod has improved the mid, upper and low down ranges, however when going to real extremes and pulling from barely tick over the standard unit suits my car better. Now I realise all cars are different, but for me on my car, this mod is a welcome upgrade over my standard setup. Plus the noise is nice, loud and grunty. :smile:

Fitted mine today and love it, the only thing I've noticed with mine though is sometimes not all the time the revs will sit around 1800 on idle or wonder between 1000 and 1800. Anyone else had this?

Chances are it won't be the ik doing that
Ph2 Meg 225
That's what I thought, just a coincidence as it was fine before I suppose. Just wondered whether it was to do with the car learning different airflow or if I had knocked something.
Been for another short drive and It's not as bad now just hunts to 1600 rpm and then drops back to normal Although only did it once

Sounds like bit of an air leak somewhere mate
You've not knocked off the pipe off that goes from throttle body down to the acoustic valve?
Ph2 Meg 225
I'll take a look in the morning and see, is that the small pipe that comes of the intake 90 bend and drops behind the engine I think?

Small pipe that comes down towards the passenger headlight mate. That's if I remember rightly, been a long time since I had a 172.
Probably nothing do with it, but its worth checking, and your symptoms defo sound like an air leak.
Ph2 Meg 225
Yeah I know the one now, it's right next to the pipe which goes from the acoustic valve to the old box so it's a possibility it's got nudged,
only other thing I can think of is the jubilee on the new filter would slip off when tightened so was slackened off slightly but there was no movement of the filter on the pipe

It's still unlikely the revs will stick
Ph2 Meg 225
Took it all apart this morning, checked the pipe from the tb to acoustic valve, gave it a waddle put all the setup back together, tightened the clamps tighter and took it for a drive. Let it warm up Etc and it's fine now but we shall see

Did you give the throttle body a wipe inside?
Ph2 Meg 225
Nope, it would probably benefit from it at some point but as it didn't do it before I swapped to the ik it must be something to Do with what I've done
