nice work rob

cheers kierz ^_^

sweet as rob! did you have that at the show bud?

yea i certainly did!!

Nice filter set up there. How does it run though? Has it made a noticeable/good difference? Does it take longer to pick up in low revs because of the long pipe?

Also that exhaust looks awesome I'm hoping to get something similar soon!!

loads better than my old set up zero heat soak esp on long runs. Not noticed it taking any longer to pick up in low revs :p

GL with the MOT :o

Does it take longer to pick up in low revs because of the long pipe?

It's no longer than the standard airbox piping really...

I was going to go for the same setup myself but it was cheaper and easier to go with a short pipe setup, also gives no worries about water getting sucked in.

How are you finding it Rob? On my setup it feels as if there is some "lag" but then it picks up like a motherfucker at higher revs.

Yea its good Ste picks up well, the water is a worry though. drain pipe is the way forward cheap and light!! it is a bit tight thogh even with the rad all the way over. I might do a propper update soon too!!!

I like the silver/orange thing dude, very different! :lol:

I'm in the throws of moving my rad over, have you got any tips at all?

Tom

its pretty straight forward as long as you have everything from what i recall you need another lower rad bracket one is welded the other is just bolted another bolted on would be idea along with some way of attcahing them either strong self tappers or pop rivots!!! A straight piece of rad hose for the top pipe! i think thats it.
