[quote][i]Originally posted by mattyross[/i] home-brew mods are the future- you learn so much, have something to your exact spec,, and nobody else has one the same ..and its cheeeap :thumbs: i drilled 8 10mm holes in my airbox whilst i was cleaning it. loved the sound, good first mod. got offered a pipercross filter from a mate- i was a bit reluctant, so i tried before i buyed. fitted it and drove around a bit, sounded too quiet for my liking- prob due to the restrictive corrugated air pipe. whilst i was taking it off, i wondered,, what does it sound like with no airbox on?? :o drove it up and down my road once or twice, loved the induction sound- but quickly stopped to avoid shoot in my cylinders lol so i came up with the idea of making my own 'induction kit'.. i wanted something with minimal restriction, good induction noise, unique and low cost. a pair of '45 carb filter socks caught my eye at £15 a set, so thought 'hey why not??' then i needed a way of securely joining the sock to the throat of the plastic throttle body tophat. took some measurements with a micrometer and drew some plans on the back of a fag packet like. seeing as im in my last year of studying my a-leves, i had access to the technology classrooms and relevant materials/ machines ..and i was fucking bored dossing about coming up to christmas :rolleyes: drew my plans up on a CAD program and sent the design through to the automated router and milling machine..
