   Hi,
   just got my vtr back from where i brougt it and had a quick look under the bonnet to see if i could handle fitting my K and N filter.
   
   Where the standard airbox is there is loads of pipes etc going into it, what do i do with these pipes as there is nowhere for them to go.
   
   Hav looked for a guide but couldnt find anything.
   
   Thanks

   get the standard airbox mate, and rip it all out
   
   then put your K&N onto the throttle body and attatch breather pipes to it job jobbed

   also, if there is any spare breather pipes, put a small breather filter on them
   
   like this one

   Leave it there, its the air intake. When you have fitted your K&N it will direct cold are from the front of the car at the filter
   
   Will also be worth investin in a heat shield: Clicky
