Default Standard Air Box

Well I am thinking my raceland induction kit isn't all that and I am thinking about going back to a standard air box but with out all the crap attached.

Does any one have any idea or have a method which work well to get cold air to the standard set up?!

have you thought about getting a panel filter for your standard air box?

where do you then duck the air from?!

I've tired that before and didn't really know where to get the cold air feed from.

i have replaced the standard panel filter with a jetex one i got off ebay for a tenner and it is brilliant. throttle response has vastly improved. The standard citroen breathing gear is pretty good as it is, i wouldn't do anything to it mate.

Ive used some ducting from the standard box to the feed from the slam panel. Have a K&N panel filter in it. Works well, sounds good. I cant see how its any worse than an expensive 'kit'.

I dont have fogs in atm and im thinking of routing the ducting behind the ns foglight hole, just to see if its any better.

You will have to be careful when you go through puddles as it is low to put the ducking there imo.
