Thinking of using styrofoam on the inside with another layer of aluminium over that. Will put up more piccies as it progresses.

basically stock...are the ARC boxes AL? thats the issue I have had with them. PLastic doesn't conduct heat very well, Al does...
I reverted to stock box, UAS pipe and a K&N hi-flo pannel filter..

if arc boxes are aluminium then you could just open up the box and stuff kevs weather shield box in there and it'll work perfect

Im looking to put together a Samco hose kit. 3 separate pipes fit together to make an FTO intake. Im just waiting on some pics & specs from the poms. Apparently do-able for both GPX & GR, and in any colour.

Bugger, it is the best pipe design I have seen for the FTO. (I have one in black)
Pity the accompanying plastic air box was shite.
Is there anywhere else that could produce them if an existing pipe was supplied for a mold? or has Steve still got the orginal metal version that UAS built for him?
Cheers
