All you need is a 45 degree sillicon bends and piping to the the front of the car.
You can either do a DIY or get a mechanic 50-100 bucks max to do everything.

didnt have the time to pull one off the shelf - was up hi above in the performance parts section and was running off to other side of city.
so not too sure if its full CF or part or etc etc.
However. will check it out when i get the time cos this BMC style air filter looks interesting.
its at autobarn, Hopper Crossing, Vic.

so if the one at Autobarn isn't all carbon fibre, is that worst only because of the weight factor? would the benefits still be the same with the only difference is one is lighter than the other?
Anyway I would never get anything put it at autobarn.. or even buy anything from them, but im just asking.
Did I mention how much Autobarn sux balls?

Carbon fibre is not used just for its weight. It is much more durable, and harder than normal plastic.
Also if you get non carbon fibre one, the carbon coating will wear off due to the heat inside the engine bay.

the service and supply of goods at autobarn isnt too bad - dependent on which one u go of course...
the problem is that they are freaking
expensive

I will only need 50% deposit ($100) initially then the rest when the goods arrive (takes 30 days).
I need all deposits done by the 29th of June (im going holidays after that.

I will probably have to can this eoi soon, i asked them for a sample kit, but they only do them as a larger order due to them being made out of carbon.

They don't have a sample one yet.
That's why the group buy $199 and not $249, because it's like a sample set.

What would be reccomended diamension of these eg inlet hole, outlet hole, cylinder length?
Because this will be custom made.
