Default what do i do with the pipe of the air filter

hi guys i recently bought a y reg saxo vtr im very pleased with it but have never had a saxo before for xmas someone bought me this air filter
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165660
i have read the induction thread etc and no it wont make a power difference but a bit more noise sounds good to me and ive kinda got to put it on with it being a pressie but where do i put the small pipe that goes into the airbox thinks its the cold air feed it comes of the top of the engine i now this has probablly been asked before but did have a look round and couldnt find a specific answer thanks ross

1: Buy a breather filter + put it on the end. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/~NEW~-Breather...856d55ffce3c37
2: Buy a oil catch tank or make 1. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-Round-Oil-...item2c54aa6d45
3: Buy the proper induction pipe + the pipe will just fit onto it.

You would only need 1 of them, the breather filter would be the cheapest option

Your better off putting a k+n air filter in your standard air box mate.

like steve67 says mate the best option for you is to keep it standard and just replace the paper filter in your air box, with a k&n filter element. you can pick these up from halfords on order in aswell so its not a wasted xmas present then !
