im thinking of putting a 3.5' pipe from the bumper-bar leading into the air box of my brothers ef fairmont, just to gain more air flow.
has any one done this before and is it worth doing (power wise)? ive all ready put a k & n pannel filter au tickford snorkel and going to install a mandrel bent intake pipe.

It ain't gunna do any harm.
As for a noticable gain, I doubt it. And ebfore anyone says you'll get water in the engine, there dreaming, the engine doesn't suck hard enough through tubing that size to suck water all the way up. |

yeah did it a while ago..
as far as ppl saying it aint gonna make much difference well i say any bit can help especially if ya got othe mods.. suction at the bar on mine is good as i was carefull to seal it all properly. if u hold a bit of paper at the hole it sucks n stays on the bumper and when the cars idiling u can hear the sucking coming from there.. herees a couple of pics of wot i did 
i didnt use the second largest bit of pipe bend.. havnt any pics from under the car where the piping runs up-sorry hope this helps

I done mine 4 or 5 years ago in my EF, i went straight down through the bottom of the airbox, i bought a 75 mm stainless fitting and used a hole saw through the box and skirt.
Mine was non ABS so it was easy, but the difference was definately noticable, more so than any snorkel that i fitted, inc Tickford and Aunger. |
