air intake system question

[navmk4gti]

thats too short already thought of that need a pipe that will allow filter sit close posible behid the drivers headlight

drivers headlight? that would be some artistic piece of pipework...

exactly lol 

hence my prob.. ill give the exhaust place a shot theyll get something done for me.. by sounds of it no1 has tried or acomplished this if i am the first one you know there is hope for us brave ones

so you want a filter housed in a heat shield on the left (as you look at the engine) then a piece of alloy pipe going over the VERY HOT intake manifold and around the VERY HOT engine and into the maf?

sorry mate but thats a crap idea

[navmk4gti]

huh ..oh sh!t sorry i meant behind passenger headlight 

you got me thinking wtf!! 

[topher]

ah i see.. well you have a battery in the way for a start so unless you relocate that then you're back to the original airbox position surely? there are tons of kits available to put a cone filter there

[navmk4gti]

batter covers coming off for starts... and i can squeeze the filter in already tried it in the garage today its just the pipe work to get it bang on is tricky.. if its off then its all fooked

the water would have to be just under the headlights to go up the filter,

On my old Pipercross VIS kit, the filter was more like in line with the lower valance grill, than just below the headlights!
