#3: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 3:37 pm ---- yeah its cheap but they all do the same job , so dont realy want to spend loads
would it be long enough to go from cone to bumper yeah? and you can connect them to the cone yeah?
#4: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: jk206, Location: GainsboroughPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 3:52 pm ---- should be long enough but then again i dont know where abouts your curent filter is in the bay, i dont think you connect them to the cone i recon the end of the cold feed is postioned next to the cone
#5: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: DanT, Location: Torbay, EnglandPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 3:54 pm ---- Ive used some in the past that i got from Kam Racing which was decent, didnt look amazing but worked well and was pretty strong.
Thats what it was, if you work out the diameter you need to can get it cheaper nowadays on ebay, in decent lengths too.

im not sure about this guys idea but as far as the part youve asked about id say its certainly worth a try at that price...im not keen on the blue pipe but the blue ends look ok...it will extend to three feet long so should fit ok...
Send a pic if u go for it...
#7: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:03 pm ---- thats what i was thinkin its cheap and they all do the same job so why not , ill jus be careful not to tear it as im fittin it so it should be ok and yeah will do mate
#8: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: Domo, Location: EdinburghPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:15 pm ---- how do you fit a cold air feed? and where does it go?
#9: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 6:26 pm ---- if uv got a cone filter , you jus channel a pipe from
a cold air supply normaly faceing forward behind the grill of your front bumper and put the other end of the pipe facing into your filter so that it sucks the cold air in, its a lot better for your car and might get u 1 or 2 bhp lol but its also healthier

Healthier? Very debatable. If it was better for your car, the manufacturers would use it from factory.

Not necessarily ...a k&n filter is certainly better than a standard one but they dont fit them...that goes for all performance products and upgrades i dare say...
#12: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 7:15 am ---- by healthier i ment if u were to have a cone filter on your car before you bought it fitting a cold air feeed pipe would make it healthier, im not compareing it to the standard air box and filter

True, I give you that, but I wasn't talking about a panel filter, nor would I call that a performance upgrade. The guy was talking about a cone filter and a cold air feed, something entirely different.
#14: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: jonsully, Location: irelandPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:57 am ---- i bought that cold air feed before xmas and it seems fine.i didnt go messin about with it too much as the plastic is thin but as a feed that is fitted and left alone it does the job fine
#15: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 12:22 pm ---- sound mate, hearin that ill buy once tomorow, was it hard to fit??
#16: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 12:27 pm ---- Nothing to do with health. The filter maintains health. Cold air may slightly increase power though. But remember just how low your intake now is. Hit a puddle and the water can kill your MAF and engine.

is this a with a cone filter?
#18: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: jk206, Location: GainsboroughPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 12:50 pm ---- The cold air feed you put in will be low down, so when you go through a big puddle it will splash up and get sucked into the filter and possibly go through into you engine
#19: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: dan_manu, Location: Flintshire, North WalesPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 12:51 pm ---- ohh yeah :/ can you get them with water filters at all ?
#20: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: jk206, Location: GainsboroughPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 1:02 pm ---- What the cold air feed with a water filter?

If it's water tight, it will won't be far off being air tight.
#22: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: jonsully, Location: irelandPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 5:07 pm ---- something similar below,or you could just tiger seal the feed onto the bottom of the airbox.
but as the lads said be careful of standing water,i only use my car on track so its not an issue for me.
#23: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Mon Jan 07, 2013 5:37 pm ---- Just face it backover facing the rear if the car and use plenty of pipe so it has a bend rather than it being straight up and down like a straw for the engine it will be unlikely to get water intake with these precautions
#24: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: Mattie-RS, Location: A Track near you ;)Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 10:18 am ---- Why not be what wise people do and not get a open filter??
Panel filter or a enclosed induction kit only
#25: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 11:16 am ---- Doesn't take much more than an egg cup (maybe less) of water to destroy your engine. Whatever you decide know where your intake is and be careful of deep water.
#26: Re: cold air feed pipe Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Tue Jan 08, 2013 3:48 pm ---- personally i am changing mine soon.....and i hate to show any solidaritry but i will be puttin a good k and n or similar panel filter in......keeps petrol mileage up(induction kits lower your mpg)keeps sensors happy....keeps water ingress at a minimum....and gives slightly better results to a budget panel....also the performance panel can be cleaned and might even give a noticeable bhp increase but u will have to be very sensitive to notice it but there should be a slight increase non the less...i expect to pay around£35 for a decent panel filter to fit my 137gti
