   Heya,
   
   stuck a K&N filter into my standard VTR airbox earlier but I dont know where/how to start on a cold air feed.
   
   Done some searches on here but they all seem to be on MK2 engines and with induction kits.
   
   engine is this one:
   
   
   I'm guessing its the black pipe going to the front grill, whats the best place to take out a custom feed, the ribbed rubber bit on the middle or rip it all out and put it straight into the airbox?
   
   Pics and tips/advice would be very welcome!

   the plastic pipe going from the airbox to the front of the car is a cold air feed.
   and it is heat resistant plastic so you will not gain anything by messing about with the feed u might even loose bhp through heat soak.
   so i would just leave it alone as it already has a scoop from the frount of the car as standard.

   they have better heat resistant properties in comparison to a thin aluminium cold air feed
