    open air filter---> cold air supply......

    hi,

    does anyone have pictures of how they made the cold air box/heat shield for an open air filter. i bought one of A`PEXi for mij S2 (ABY) and i was wondering how it`s done best.
    and what kind of material is the best to use?

    the cold air supply is already there because it`s an ABY.

    pictures please, so i can get an idea

    thnx & greetz,
    Erik

    Erik,

    Perform a search on the forum. There are loads of pictures with open airfilters on the s2. Usually with 2 x 90 degree bends and some sfs hose.

          hi,

          i will!!

          a friend of mine is willing to make a custom stainless steel box for me, if it`s ready i will post some pics.

          that same friend told me to be carefull with too much hot air. it could make some damage to your engine. (don`t know why..) so i put back the org. airfilterbox till the heatshield is made. ( i loved the woosh-sound...)

            Hot air shouldn't damage the engine as factory (and good aftermarket) chip programming will reduce advance and boost at high air temps. So much so you might notice it running sluggish with excessive intake temps...
