K&N Air Filter Fitting Problem

[Ben3991]

Hi,
just got my vtr back from where i brougt it and had a quick look under the bonnet to see if i could handle fitting my K and N filter.

Where the standard airbox is there is loads of pipes etc going into it, what do i do with these pipes as there is nowhere for them to go.

Hav looked for a guide but couldnt find anything.

Thanks

get the standard airbox mate, and rip it all out

then put your K&N onto the throttle body and attatch breather pipes to it job jobbed :)

also, if there is any spare breather pipes, put a small breather filter on them :y:

like this one

Leave it there, its the air intake. When you have fitted your K&N it will direct cold are from the front of the car at the filter :)

Will also be worth investin in a heat shield: Clicky (http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=GREHS-03)
