i was looking at the cai on the tl and come up with this to keep the original look

it has made a differance when driving over 80kmh

ive cut some of the front grill letting more pass between the grill and bonnet as theres very little clearance from factory

also ive opened the center of the scoop up about 5mm

also i have cut and glued a piece of plastic behind the grill to deflect some of the air in to the scoop

thoughts?

Every bit helps!! :)

Cant see how ud notice the difference with something so small but yeah props for freeing it up a bit..

next time you see a tl feel the clearance between the grill and bonnet its about 2 to 3mm

ive given it about 10 to 13 mm

Oh ok well if its that much then well done mate. Good mod :)
Have u got a k&n panel aswell? there quite the go :D

na not yet im waiting for one to come through work on a used car:P

Im not entirely convinced but if you reckon it makes it better then thats all that matters.

its goto help

theres a lot of restriction in that area

better than running it to a hot road i recon

Have a look near the headlight.. take out the little plastic backing plate and you've got a 10cm hole straight behind the grill getting air rammed into the engine bay... if you chop a little bit out of your battery box theres more than enough room to run a piece of pipe from the airbox straight to the hole, most effective you'll get.

I took my air filter out and left the airbox brackets open, then took it for a spin.

Sounds throaty as... :D

Needless to say, I'll be looking to go a pod filter setup - probably K&N

yes i did this the 1st time it looked realy crapy and it didnt matter what i used as in hose the heat from the radiator was making it warp and change shape

i just wanted it to look standard

3 inch silicone hose shouldn't but it'll be pretty exxy.
