K&N Induction kit fitted!

Hey

Got my k&n fitted y-day & its awesome! Nice sounding and definately feel the difference.

Jus got a quick question tho, he sed he cudnt get the pipe to feed thru to the grill on the front bumper so he attached it to the old pipe which used to feeed the old air filter? Will this be ok or will i get an improved performance if it is connected to the grill?

Sed he cudnt get it thru as its had an air horn installed and its in the way

Also no i got this ugly rocker cover to look at and its not very pretty? any ideas to make it less of an eye sore? I not big on spraying? Wondered if u cud buy a different cover with like 1.1i Sporting written on that wud b cool also in yellow!

Any help will be much appreciated! Cheers Mikey

why dont you polish it up (takes time ) and then laquer (spelling) it for a more subtle look,as for the cold feed you definently want to get a cold feed in there,haven't fitted one to a cinq so someone who has will have info

The K&N comes with a cold air feed pipe that runs perfectly down the right-hand side of the engine, from the right hand-side of the front bumper. On a Cinq sporting, there is a cut-out in the front bumber which allows a good amount of air in. Just poke a hole through the pipe and zip-tie it to the bumper.

I am of course assuming you hsve the pipe i am talking about! Running a 2nd pipe doubles the response i originally felt with the K&N fitted. So bare that in mind for future modding :)

Im prolly gonna have a go myself see if i can pass it thru ( i do have the pipe) and tie to bumper then try and get so more pipe from halfords?

Is too much air bad for it? or is it more the better?

Cheers
