yeah i was thinking the same thing about the TB end, either that or see if i can get a ovel to round silicone joint

even if you could, it waill be pricey.

plus you'd need oval -> round and i dont think anyone does that...

yeah i was also thinking that lol

plus at the TB end it has what looks like a breather pipe co will have to get another pipe to cut up as i dont wanna do it to the one its got on it, that way i have a spare pipe

Don't be put off by a little work though, everything is bodgeable. When I got my induction kit on the Pug, I thought I'd make up a new pipe so it could draw stone-cold air from the front grill.



And if you haven't guessed, I made it out of some drainpipe from Homebase, and made the bends just by heating the pipe with a kitchen blowtorch, lol. It looked a bit odd, but it was awesome, made a nice hollowy tone with a great induction roar, I'm all about the DIY.
