   Seen this done before... Same Car ( 106 Quiky ) He has his standard Airfilter and box, but just hooked up a cold air feed ffrom that to the bottom grill... with just a slinky looking pipe.
   
   would that give it better Throttle repsonce ( i don't know much about performance ) would there be any benifits in this? or just sill idea ?
   
   
   This is the car that im refering to : http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/sh...=54425&page=38

   I doubt you would be able to tell any difference. It looks quite good though.

   It gets rid of the "hourglass" restriction so it will be slightly better but pretty much the same as before because it still has the OEM filter in.

   What do you have set up there mate,? aftermarket panel filter with a cold air tube? 4-2-1 mani? anything else? i just installed a panel filter and took out the resinator to give it more umph when accelerating, sounds alright but a bit boomy somtimes...

    engine wise, i have k&N panel with de restricted box, miltek 421 mani with sports cat, supersprint race pipe with magnex bb.
    
    i had a BMC CDA induction, a raceland enclosed and i found the panel filter to be better than both. with the airbox derestricted it gives a nice growl about 3500rpm
