Mate,

I hope your being serious..............

If not, that is one sick joke. :(

If it comes this week it will still be quicker than a friends 2nd lot of Jun Cam wheels for his 700hp WRX..................the first lot were defect....... :)

Yes, i must say that i am stoked to have FINALLY received mine too! Makes a hell of a difference (at least i think so)! Did anyone have trouble removing the baffle from the standard airbox, located in the bumper? There's a stupid white washer water resevoir in the way, so i havent run the flexi-pipe yet. Cheers.
Coming soon....FTO on its guts... <IMG src="http://www.ftoaustralia.com/modules/htmlarea/images/em.icon.cool.png" align=absMiddle border=0>

Yay!

Finally got mine and fitted it on the weekend.

Mates up to my Apexi pod perfectly, the elbow out of the throttle body was larger than standard, had to modify the battery clamp but this was half expected.

Any thoughts on how to best fit the snorkel?

I was planning on fitting it the same as the K&N 517i (?) kit for the FTO, just have to find an acceptable air scoop to bolt under the front bumper. Might have to pay a visit to Bunnings or Godfrey's to see what type of attachments they have...........

Cheers

After experimenting with mine, I ended up trimming about 1.5" off the end that goes to the engine, it now fits well and isn't jammed up against the battery. Be careful however, as you don't want to stuff up when cutting it! 8O

In terms of CAI ducting / snorkel, Autobarn sell flexible CAI piping for about $25 (around 1m long). If you remove the original airbox piping you can run two of these CAI feeds and increase the cold air getting to the filter. One can be feed through the hole left by the airbox piping, the other from near the radiator. You can use wire-ties to hold it all in place.

Is this the aleminium looking thick pipe, black in colour outside and silver inside. Also there is a cardboard looking material between inside and outside layers?

nope.

It looks like drainage pipe you'd get from a hardware store or nursery except that it doesn't have any drainage holes in it :wink:

They have it in a number of colours and from memory it's made out of a soft silicon rather than drainage pipe which tends to be hard plastic.

Looks like this:

Mine came in today.. offically though.

It came in last week, but the stupid guys at ipec like rang the door once, and then bolted :p

and didn't come back for another week, paritally because, I was busy anyways.

I'll try and connect it up soon, it looks good, though, I was really hoping for a purple filter, but the red looks fine.

Now all I want is my strut bra, so how's that coming along Steve? :p
