Just a thunk.... How about buying some PVC fittings from bunnings, making up a pipe that goes to cold air that a pod fits on, then taking that PVC to an exhaust shop and get them to make it out of stainless? Looks trick, doesnt need you to have the car off the road, costs about 8 bucks from bunnings and the pod sucks the cold air.

Course, if you are just redirecting cold air to the standard air box, ignore me.

(PS - And pod filters filling with water and blowing up and killing the engine and eating babies is BS :cheers:)

After driving in torrential rain for 30mins my mates stock airbox with cold air feed (set up behind an opening the front bar) had water sitting in the bottom of the airbox and the panel air filter was soaking wet.

what i have done is left the stock intercooler pipe below the pod in place (i have fmic with cross over pipe) and a heat shield. not the best but the safest for everyday driving i think.

my 2c :D

This is my current filter/feed setup, all I need is about a foot of this flexible piping to extend it down the the front bar.

I have seen the black irrigation piping at Bunnings but I dont think it suits what I want and plus it comes in like 30 metres only or something, its really hard and not really flexible too.

PVC piping was my original plan but I have yet to find the right bends and to get it exactly the way I want.

Looks like some aircon stuff. Bunnings does have plastic irrigation piping - which looked like it would do the trick.

The air ducting piping you mentioned will be good, however a bit pricey.

irrigation piping is not the best idea is you want max power out your cold air induction, as this piping has lots of tiny holes in it. however it is cheap.

ideally its up to you which path you take. Personally i would go for some thick hose, ot BLACK intercooler piping, as Black is much betetr for keeping the cold air inside the pipes colder.

I hope that made sence. :cheers:

Woodworking places have HEAPS of this stuff.... off cuts and everything with heaps of sizes.

Call Gregory Machinery they are in Richlands (boundary rd i think) you just go straight thru the massive round about at the end of the Western / Centenery Freeway... Or better yet, just rock up and ask them about it, im sure they would hook you up no worries!

Good stuff...

I bought some similar stuff off them about 10 years ago

It was 3 inch black rubber with a spiral wound wire in it. It used it for a cold air feed aswell. I still have some left over which I going to use in my car when I get around to it.

I work in the a/cond game and have 100 to 500 diameter flex, but i would not use it on a car.
