as we all kno, for n/a's you can put a great cone filter, replacing the stock airfilter. this leaves the airfilter near the right headlight, now i KNOW ive seen some sort of set up, where on the rite head light there is a slot for air, so more (colder) air reaches the cone.



btw, im inquiring about s5 n/a's. though im sure it'd be the same for any fc3s n/a.



just wondering if anyone knows wut im talkin about, and how to do it. pics? website? thanks in advance.



btw, i have no idea wut i was thinking when i named the topic....sorry about that.

They're neat, but you gotta get 'em painted to match the car.

I have the KSP cover from Rotary Performance. I painted it to match. It looks nice but really doesn't do much for cold air. You can't really get much cold air to the intake without cutting somewhere or rerouting your filter in front of the rad like at http://www.1300cc.com.



The KSP looks a lot nicer than the Mariah IMO.... Also, I think Corksport sells them now too.

im not sure those things are at all functional. Id be curious to see if those things actually duct air at speed. I think thats a low pressure area.

little off topic, but where can I find a how-to on relocating intake in front of radiator? I looked on 1300cc but couldn't find it
