ok ill post up what i originally had there
my pod filter needs some cold air induction, so what i was thinking, you can correct me if im wrong! but yeah, i wanted to get some tubing, not sure if aluminium or plastic or whatever? to weave its way down, but to go down so that the pod is sitting behind the front bar

so to put the hole in the front bar = like a heat gun? or just cut it straight out? i want it to look nice, with maybe some black mesh over the hole or something? and have the pod sitting behind there so that instead of sucking hot air in from the engine bay its getting crisper cooler air.
what you think?
but i deleted it coz ive already organised to have it done when i get back to sydney, will have custom aluminium tubing (i think its aluminium) and then a tasteful hole cut in the front wherever we choose to mount the pod :)

You could just move it 10cm to the right and have it inside the actual bumper grille.

dont most people leave there pod up in the engine bay, get a box for the pod, and then run the tubing from the bumpers original grill to the pod box?
that would look neater

true but i was under the impression that air being forced onto the pod as well as it sucking it in would be better rather than just having the pod suck it all the way up the tube etc... i dunno, after seeing choongas set up it made me want one :)

Don't cut your front bar dude... Use that existing bottom grille hole to run your CAI.

air isnt goign to get forced onto the pod no-matter where u put it. the RAM air principle doesnt work till well over to 200km/h, (your 2nd gen wont see those sorts of speed unless u chuck it out of a plane.) and even that you wont even see a 0.1psi rise in pressure in the intake piping.
btw. choonga is a retard.
