The fella who had my car before cut a hole and ran some flexi-tube through to the front. Only prob was that he put one of those cheap pod filters from somewhere like super cheap without heat sheilding it. I pulled that off and chucked a K&N panel filter and boxed it up, noticed a difference straight away, even got my crappy auto to chirp into 2nd gear.......it would never do that before. Also saved a fair bit on fuel too

hey its easy just go down to ur local plumbing store get about 1meter of5/6inch straight down pipe and a 90degree bend then cut and install very easy if u have a groupA front bar it bolts straight behind the small hole for the brakes on the passanger side........

anyone got a good suggestion for covering the freshly cut hole once done?, like some sort of rubber fitting to cover it and protect?

Selleys All Clear.

who in SA would be the person to ring to see if cutting that metal is legal?

it always amazes me how this topic can come up like once a week and still get 20+ replies...

yeah same.. i dont know how many times i've seen a CAI thread since i been here.. i suppose alot of 'newbies' just keep rolling in and asking the same questions.. A proper write up of the build up and installation of the piping with pics etc would be great to have a link too.. aswell as a list of advantages and disadvantages. stick it on www.calaisturbo.com But yeah Ryan.. just paint the bare metal to protect it, once the pipe is in place. silicon or no more gaps does the trick.
