    Original cold air feed to stock filter

    Until I can work out how/where/if to move my HKS filter, can someone tell me the measurements of the original feed pipe?

    I am going to have a stainless/ally cold air feed aimed at the filter for the time being, the shape isn't important but I need to know exactly how big the funnel is that the bonnet closes on.
    Unless I buy a huge lump of Playdough and squish it with the bonnet I don't know.

    Help is much appreciated.

    Come on, you know you want to answer me?

    May I add, the above picture isn't my car therefore I don't know the measurements.

    I have a thought on this subject.

    I have removed my feeder pipe for now, after fitting my new filter.

    The feeder pipe, in my opinion, is only going to be of use if it is airtight around the filter. I reckon that with the standard air box, cold air is sucked from the front of the car, and not directed towards it.

    If you have a look at where the cold air is taken from you will understand what I mean.

    So, you will really need to encase the induction filter and channel the feeder pipe snuggly into it for it to be of any benifit.

    IMHO
