   Hey all, ive done the most common thing on earth and fitted a K&N 57i. I quite like it, sounds good, but the only problem is the joke of a pipe that they give you... any suggestions of how to get cold air to the filter? I did try to botch the pipe under the bumper (like they said in the instructions lol) but that fell off
   
   Open to ideas (and instructions )

   yeh the bottom end does stay in place, but where the hell does the other end go? it just lingers in the engine bay, quite a distance away from the filter. And what can i attatch that end to?
   
   cheers

   I could swear the filter sits at 90degrees to that at the end of the throttle. But then im probably wrong. That filter looks as if it a carboureter one. I'm probably wrong again though and im not doubting what you say

    MPI sits 90 degrees to the throttle body on the right, SPI sits directly flat, 1.1i is SPI on older models but i know vtr/s are MPI
