my friend has given me a universal K&N air filter but it has a curved pipe with it, anybody know where i can get a straight pipe to connect it up

or know where i can buy another type of pipe to connect it

been to a few shops and they say they dont sell them seperate, but there must be somewhere to get them from
thanks

i measured it at 70mm diameter but the majority of pipes are 76mm diameter on ebay, would the jubilie clip hold this on?

remember, Seat go to a lot of trouble to make sure cool, clean, dry air reaches the inlet. an open filter in the bay won't deliver 2 of those. you could end up with less power, or a dead engine if it sucks in splashed water. this is 1 thing you have to get right.:(

The thing is that it will suck on Hot air that can drastically decrease your performance. i would go for the In-box filter.

yeah im in 2 minds aswell. think if it is in the air box it will be ok..

does any one know if you can modify another box and just replace it with the standard one when car goes in for warranty work? or will another box and piper have to be fitted?

Don't know, i am looking for something to do as well , just finished my audio system now i want to upgrade the performance, not much to do with the 1.6 petrol sadly... i might order the K&N inbox and add a Free Flow Exhaust. there is the Chip tuning but without a turbo it can add may be 10 HP and a bit of torque.
