[Chop.]

Those that know me will know I don't like to follow the crowd so here's my latest plan complete

Fully functioning bonnet vents

 

[RS5 JON]

Good job Chop.

[RyanJonS4]

Looks good and fits in well with your overall look!

Be careful in heavy rain though running the open cone filter, you wouldn't want to suck any water in!

 

[Chop.]

Cheers I'm happy with how it turned out

@RyanJonS4 should be fine in the rain department the hole is up in line with the suspension top mount and the cone filter is right at the front

 

[AlexA4Avant]

Looks wicked @Chop. Did you take a fistful brave pills to do them mods.

Cheerz @AlexA4Avant I'm on a lot of pain killers for my back just now think that might have helped

Making that first hole though was like **** no going back now :-/

 

[Gazwould]

Guess the vents makes the K&N sound more ripper ?

 

[AlexA4Avant]

[Chop.]

Haha cheers mate, I didn't think of that believe it or not

 

[Chop.]

So while my wheels are ******

Let's get these bad boys emptied, no idea what it will sound like but it's happening

 

[Chop.]

Jesus that wasn't fun !

Need to weld it up on Tuesday when I'm off and refit but can't even take it for a run when it's done :-(

Both back boxes done and I already have the front silencers removed so that only leaves the centre box, did consider doing the centre but thought I'd try this instead

 

[xpoweruk]

that should add release some of the V6 howl

 

[Gazwould]

Did you weld a straight through pipe in like so ?

 

[Chop.]

@Gazwould only got as far as cutting everything out, was thinking i could go straight to one tail pipe for easieness same as that picture and just leave the outside pipe open ?

what happens if you leave the box empty i'm guessing it wouldnt be good ?

 

[Chop.]

so done a bit of reading oh here, found an old post, plan is to weld up a pipe to the inside tail pipe and i'll leave all the wool etc out and weld up the boxes

 

[xpoweruk]

Can you get hold of a Y-Pipe ??

[Chop.]

@xpoweruk you do have a point mate, to be fair the car cant go anywhere anyway so i would be just as well getting a Y pipe and doing it properly

 

[Gazwould]

Sounds a good plan .

If left completely empty the exhaust gasses expand in the void, cool and slow down a bit .

High gas speed = good flow and less back pressure .
