Air filter problem

[Gashman]

I have a pipercross induction kit on my furio, however it's not clamping as tight as I would like onto the throttle body, would this be a reason I don't have a nice throaty sound?

Would this cause the induction kit to under perform? Anyone else had this problem?

What would be the easiest way to rectify this? I was thinking of using a silicone reducer and clamping to the outside of the induction kit?

On my old pipercoss I had a rubber sleeve which went over the induction pipe,then the jubilee clip slid over that.The rubber sleeve is to stop the pipe from slipping,has yours got the sleeve mate?

Nah I haven't got that mate, just got a t bolt clamp on the pipe part of the induction kit

Dear Gashman,
I know my daughters 1999 1.4 8v auto, most probably isn,t the same set up air filter wise.
Her " rubber " sleeve that fits around the throttle body, in between the air filter housing, was a little split. I went to a main dealer in Tunbridge Wells and they told me that the rubber sleeve was still available from Citroen, however it only came with a new top half of the air filter housing:P
I made one myself, and it hasn,t been any problems since either.
Vince,
