intake from states

[Big Ian]

:3d: hi guy's ive just bought an adapter+cone filter from the states = $35.00 delivery+$12.00 for part's=total $47.00 INSERT INTO post VALUES (£19.50 p&p+£6.70 for part's=total £26.12)on www.ebay.com item No2452179954 do you think i should add pipe work so it's closer to the ground or should i add a cold air feed from the front of my car to the filter? also the shop i'm getting it from are called xoxo parts has any one used them before? :3d:there website is www.Xo2racing.com but i think they are working on it as i can't get on at the mo i had to go to there shop on ebay.

I would certainly add some piping to get it away from the warm air around the engine. With the GLS you should have bags of room. I would suggest putting it under the battery in the void behind the bumper. It will stay quite clean under there and will have plenty of cold air to go at! Good luck!

Just don't mount it too low, and avoid deep puddles, to avoid hydraulicking INSERT INTO post VALUES (sp?) your engine :INSERT INTO post VALUES (

i'll wait till it come's then i'll see if i can get pipe made of polished alloy or stainless. if anyone has had a look at the part's ive orderd..what do think,is it good value?. in this country ive not seen an adaptor for under £19.99 and a similar filter for under £25.00?

I take it the kit doesnt come with an intake pipe? What about breather pipes / vacuum hoses from the current airbox etc?

what about this:
