    Just took out some of the plastic trim around the wheel arch amongst other things. It gets its air from behind the grill and the wheel well. It'll hopefully look a bit better once I smooth the bumps and do it body colour

    Nice one Matty, your making us all jealous haha!

    There is a whole lot of BS covering it, and haven't some people on here(looks at stu) removed that trim altogether, I'm not that game tbh. The actual wheel well trim has holes in it amongst other things.

    Its a VR6, not some V8 or a turbo, it doesn't need that much air flow...

    Oh the piping is a good idea don't get me wrong, but making a custom intake and relocating the charcoal canister to fit, is really more trouble than its worth.

    Play around with your stock airbox trim and resist the urge to butcher it, because you WILL need it again at some point... Unless you get a replacement bottom of course

    Also, I have one thats been "swiss cheesed" well more like annihilated that you can have for nothing if you want to play around with more intake sound.

    Molested stock airbox with a K&N panel filter does it for me.

    My car had this when I bought it:



    Which was replaced with this:



    Then finally with a CAI system from AutoBarn for $160 + a few bits and bobs to move the carbon canister

    mm yeah its a bit late i did the cut a 1/4 of ur bottom 1/2 out

    but it happens...i guess ill just find myself a new bottom 1/2 wen i need to. im intrested in giving my "cold air intake" more "cold air" to intake, but with the modded airbox.
