Hope you took that RR with a pinch of salt over 20 bhp increase on a totally standard engine.

Looks good though, not a fan of using the hose to connect the inlet and bodies, but looks good a right sleeper.

yeah be interesting to see what power it makes on a newer RR with the inlet and outlet all be changed lots since it was last on the rolling road. the hose is truck rad hose and its braided and stiff. i know people who have done the same method and its worked fine. wont know myself until its back on road. but its pretty sturdy.

yer i understand that, but any air leak will be bad and they cant offer a 100% seal.

but glad your trying things, hope it works.

+1 to this at work we found that if you do have to use silicone hose to join them use some high temp silicone glue around and a t bolt hose clap to secure it they offer less leakages than jubilee clamps ans they look better too.

other than that looks sweet mate.
