Hey guys

 

For those of you that have air ducts in place of the front fog lamps andalso have a pipe/hose etc connected to them leading to either the intercoolers

or front brakes;

 

a: What kind of hose/piping did you use and what diameter was it ( a pic of the type used would be outstanding )

 

b: how did you connect the hose to the ducts.

 

As always, any help greatly appreciated.

i used 3" flexi hose but, 2 or 2.5" will do it.

 

as for fitting the hose to the duct, it's only pushed on so the bumper can come off cleanly.

 

 

yo mark i recently changed my 2.5 inch to 3inch like you :D and its no longer underneath the car scraping on the road lol.

 

good man!!

 

always good to keep the underside smoooooth :D

Cheers for that mate...that´s probably a better idea, just to slip it over to make it easier when removing the front bumper.

 

Where did you get the hose from ?...i´ve looked all over the place ( here in Germany ) and all I can find is the hard plastic stuff ..that looks far better.

 

cheers

not cheap but will stand up to the elements.. ask jimmy how much you will need in total :D

Joel, you´re a star mate..thanks

 

:)

no worries chap...

 

i'd hold fire until jimmy gives you an idea of how much you'll need. i seem to recall that he needed just over 1 meter each side, i'm sure that the 2 meters he bought wasn't enough. it might be worth messaging the seller to enquire whether he can cut some to lengths of 2 x 1.5 meter ducts. he sells 500mm lengths so he could still sell the off-cuts, this will save on the hefty 60 quid price tag of 4 meters!

 

then again jimmys intercoolers are mahoosive so it has a big divert to take and his intakes for the brake duct are't in the foglamp ducts so you may be ok.

i bought 4metres in the end, was a bit of a journy round the intercoolers etc

yep, it all depends on what you have to trail it round, i would say 3 metres each side, that way you will have enough to play with and then some to do the rears with as well :)

yeah i got all my old 2.5 inch i could prob do the rears or make some ducting to the turbo housing or somthing, i have not decided yet.
