Re: air intake heatshield box
medium , but have not fitted it yet looks ok. might try sticking something to the outside to absorb the heat

Surely you want to reflect the heat rather than absorb it?bessieblue wrote:medium , but have not fitted it yet looks ok. might try sticking something to the outside to absorb the heat

hi, do you get a nice induction roar with your k & n, as mine is quiet as a mouse ! by the way, to get more cold air, i removed the back cover of the headlamp as the bilbs are sealed anyway, this allows more airflow.

yes not bad sound, better when revs high , i bought new bottom front grille from zunsport but when i tried to fit today it was to small , now have to get replaced . might fit scoop behind grille & connect to existing air hole & then connect inside with tube to air filter . pete

Re: air intake heatshield box
i have a zunsport lower grille, bit of a pain to fit as you probably found out, but make the car more individual
