Hello all, my name's steve, i've only been a member of this forum for a few days but i've seen a few familiar names on here. . . Anyway, i wan't to fit or make a Cold Air Feed to try and get some cool air to my K&N Typhoon Short Ram system. Has anyone on here fitted one themselves or got any pic's or pointers to help me? All comments highly welcome!  |

Yes, it makes difference. Much better than short ram only.  |

Not quite what i had in mind. . . I'm after a feed from the grille or foglight hole to force a bit or cold air into the engine compartment.

why dont you buy an extra bend for the piping to make your intake like a cold air intake??

Hi!
I did it the same way as notabene and anyways, it works! First i tried to get the air from the grill, but there`s not enough space and further i got better results from the original intake position.

Yeah, it`s a German Company and i bought it there. I`m from Austria, so its no Problem to send it, but i`m sure they will also deliver GB! *g* First i did it this way, which was not the best, because the suction tube (hope thats the right word) was too long and the response characteristic was really bad.  Then i did it this way, which worked really well.   Sorry for the dirty engine bay, it was raining all day long! PS. : Would be nice if a mod could fix the thing with the pictures. |

Form follows function. The important thing is that it worked but the embarrassing thing is that the engine bay is really really dirty. But fear not, i`ve cleaned it in the meantime! Thx for fixing the pictures m8! |
