Airbox and pipe routing

Post by norma »

Looking at putting an enclosed airbox over my throttle bodies as they are very loud and got me into trouble at Oulton Park recently :roll:
The problem is space for th 100mm ducting - I was wondering why I can't duct it straight into an opening in the fron wheel arch?
After all, wheel arches are high pressure areas and it would make a nice short + simple duct run.
Have I had a Eureka! moment or a 'Matt Damon' one? :D

how often do you intend to replace your airfilter?! my inner wings seem to get a fair bit of debry in them.

You will get stones , water , mud etc etc , plus no power due to virtually NO filter. Run it to the front grill via the alloy guard/drill or cut large hole just in front of the radiater. Pictures of mine are on this forum.
I just love the Stylus but she keeps swallowing £££ !

Oh dear, it was a Matt moment then :(
I thought it would save a lot of agro running a 4" pipe down to the front and then cutting a large hole in Norma's nose.....
Poor Norma....... :oops:
