good job dude, it's amazing how much space that opens up isn't it. Yeah I did mine with 65mm PVC but the box that's thats in an ST165 is a little different to that so you don't need to make the hole in the panel any bigger to fit larger pipe.

im sure a 65 would fit though for now it was easier to clamp the 50mm on the outlet ..
now that the hunk o useless plastic is gone - i can get in there and experiment

still wondering if the 50mm pipe is too " small "
so far no hitches - the car seems to accelerate alot smoother ( this also could be due to the exhaust ) and its using less fuel it seems - both positives
its also no noisier on the road 
if it wasnt for a small shiney piece of flex pipe cable tied to the grill - you wouldnt even know its there

I did mine out of 100mm PVC pipe but that obviously involved grinding out the hole on the inner guard so it would fit. 20 minutes with a trusty die grinder, a bit of paint and a rubber edge seal and it's all sweet again.

DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD....
U know how u took off the resonator, what is the clamp actually holding onto???
Would it be almost the same for a 162?
Regards
Nice work!!!!

Hmm... Interesting.
You are still using the standard airbox etc are you?
Have you got your GrpA front bar on yet? everytime I remove the splashguards it stuffs up the mesh on the GrpA bar and it takes me a couple of weeks to get it all lined up sweet again...

im trying my best not to cut/grind anything - I have a feeling a 65mm one will fit - though it would require removing the inlet thats there and the section of ducting that goes behind the light to draw air from there ..
How do you find the 100mm ? is it going into the stock airbox ?
Pics would be sweet to justen 
As for mine - I slicd a small nick on either side of the plastic duct seen up top - then fed the 50mm pipe into that - then clamed down on the hose .. pretty easy - though im not 100% sure if its the most effective way of doing it
plusses here is it all looks stock as a rock from the engine bay side of things . And yes - its straight into the stock airbox for mine
As for the grp bumper - ive got the last section of mesh in production ( ie im having to make it ) Its not on the car as yet.
( want to get all the bits ready so it can just be painted and bolted up in a day or two )
I just need to figure out a effective way of mounting copper saddle clamps to mesh - outside of riveting ..
Epoxy/araldite ? or solder ?
Solder may work best - though its copper to alum mesh ..? Ideas ?
