I have also been doing a little bit of work on the intake as well, here's what I have been up to so far:
Here is the hole in the guard for the intake pipe to come through to the airbox.
Here is the airbox removed with the matching pipe that I grabbed from the half cut. The pipe was cut just prior to where it branches off to fit the induction resonator. The main reasons that I wanted this pipe was simply to travel through the hole in the guard shown above - after that I would fit a flexible hose to take it down behind the front air dam. Plus of course it perfectly fits the hole into the airbox itself.
80mm flexible intake hose from Autobarn (about $25). Exactly what I had in mind!
Here's the general idea - duct it out the engine bay with the ST202 pipe section, and attach the 80mm tube to lead down to the air dam. As luck would have it, the flexible tube fits nicely over the end of the ST202 pipe - they have virtually the same cross sectional area which is a bonus!
It was a tight fit, but the ST202 pipe fitted through the original hole fine.
K&N panel filter in the airbox and ready to go.
Fitting the airbox back in place, it was a relief that the pipe lined up with the airbox hole!
ST202 pipe sitting in the guard and ready to be ducted down to the air dam. Next project is to make some sort of fibreglass duct with mesh in front of it to sit behind the lower front spoiler.
Stay tuned.........
