Right just got given some very nice steel flexi tube to use as cold air feeds, question is without chopping holes in bumpers/ panels; where, from peoples experience, is the best place to pick up cold air feeds? i want to avoid below bumper as it just gets trashed on the road and too much road crap get's in.
Cheers |

you need an area of high pressure my good man, infront of the windscreen or in the wheel arches.
Unless you want to start cutting holes. |

it receives no flow at all, its good for catching rain though.
wheel arch area is good but the stock location is the best really, assuming you have the feed into the rad surrond version |

I'd have thought that any feed with a 90 degree bend or even less would have hardly any pressured air going through it, I'm gonna try Morette headlamps with the inner n/s light removed and a direct line coming out from a PiperX viper or similar - any good ya reckon? Should work well on a Valver although the throttle body does point backwards abit  |

does JB have the morette headlamp set-up with cold air feed? i'd imagine it would work well as the air flying into the feed at 70+mph would be pretty pressured and cold  |
