   oh, ok thanks.
   
   also, forgot to mention, the pipe that goes into the airfilter box, is it supposed to have a rubber seal around it or is it supposed to be a tight fit?
   
   mine just sits in the hole and is able to move slightly....is this normal?

   The top/main air feed just fits in with a bit of movement. But for the lower pipe that goes into the resonance box there should be a seal

   ah, thanks, and ye the bottom one has a seal, so the top one doesnt need to be sealed then?

   Well it didn't come sealed as standard, so i dont think its that necessary but wouldnt do any harm if you did want to seal it with something

   ok, thanks, just that all these induction kits and what not seem to be air tight round the seals, just seemed strange that the standard one wasnt too 'air tight' as it where.
