Your best bet is to measure up the dia's on the airbox exit and the throttle intake, then mail the seller and find out if they match. Even if they don't you can always get a little bit of Samco'esk hosing to get them to match up, but your cost will start to climb.

get some alloy tubing with the right OD, you can buy it in various lengths with/without bends, just cut to size:

I don't think a semi will give the same results

good thinking my man, if only id thought of that, and the pipe doesnt need a breather hole either does it, and how would i measure the dia's on the throttle intake and airbox exit?

well you will need to either cut up the existing rubber pipework by trimming 1.5 or 2 inches off each end to make joiners for the the new alloy pipework, or you can buy silicon joining rings (eg samco etc etc) to join the alloy pipe to the airbox exit and intake manifold. you will need 4 jubilee clips too (as you'd justaswell replace the o.e. ones)

what it basically means is the the OD (outside diameter) of the new alloy pipe will need to be the same (give or take a couple of mm) to the OD of the airbox exit and intake manifold.

to measure the OD of the to the airbox exit and intake manifold (which should be the same) get a tape measure and place it across the widest point  :wink:
