Its your fault stamford!
Thats right. After seeing your induction the other week ive gotta get mine done got it rigged in the inner wing with some temporary piping but decided its about time I did it properly!!
So thinking of silcone piping looking through demon tweeks but no idea what I need! As far as i can remember is it 76mm then i need a reducer to 70mm for the TB?

isn't yours a 120? Not sure on the O.D. of the throttle body, perhaps someone else can help? Also what filter are you going to use and what method? Then we may be able to assist.

A mixture of both to get the best route to the TB.

here's a link to K&N's fitting instructions for their Apollo kit,
http://www.kandn.com/instructions/57A-6022_inst.pdf
it states a 44 clip for the throttle bod, i think this relates to the clip's diameter. it also shows you how to route the induction pipe. cant give you more than this as mines away being fitted right now.
also, here's a link to the kit (they reckon 8bhp gain)
http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...?Prod=57A-6022
hope this helps some

yer i want to do away with the flexi pipe as it looks pants! I think i will need one 90' bend to attatch to tb then another 90' to go down to ground and prehaps a straight bit before getting to the filters pipe which may be enough to curve in to the wing!
Sound about right would a set up for one of the hondas work as cant find anything on ebay.

There are some big hp claims there! I find it hard to believe considering the location of the kit.

Yer ive got the cone already but theres only enough piping as standard to leave it placed nicely next to the hot engine. Not the best for a cold air induction so all im after is the aluminium tubing and silicone coulplers. Found a few places but comes to about £80 so still looking else where. Ive decided i need 2 90degs 76mm, 1 150mm straight 76mm, 3 coulplers, and one reducer 76-70mm.
Should really improve aitflow and the look of the extendable flexi tubing
