Just bought a K&N open air filter for my saxo 1.1 2002 and it sounds amazing! :) , but I would like to move it to the front of the engine bay to get 'cold' air. Where can I get piping from for this?
Cheers

you could just give the induction kit a cold air feed matey, would be easier than trying to mount the induction kit nearer the front of the engine bay!

Check out www.espdesign.co.uk

They sell Silicone Hoses and Ali tubing. Take your time to measure everythin twice so you have everythin you need and don't end up with a pipe thats alittle bit too short.

I saw an induction kit on eBay awhile ago that located the cone behind the headlight and was feed by cold air around the headlight I missed the biddin and regretted it, you could try that and just bring another cold air feed from the bottom of the car upto the cone.

Thats true, so where could I get piping for this from? I know it sounds a stupid question. Thanks

S34MER is right halfords do tubin in different lengths, but also Dont tell anyone (& if you do buy one keep it quite) in the Ripspeed section they sell cold air feeds with the plastic entry rings which if you cut a small hole in the lower part of your grill or bumper then you will get cold air direct from the front of the car plus the faster you go - the fast the cold air will be forced into the cold air feed.

Like I said, take your time, have a good hard look at what sits where, scetch afew pics on paper then get stuck in :-)

Remember - Measure twice, cut once :-)
