Does anyone know where I can get a long arm for a CAI? I've bought Dinos Carbon Dynamics air box and will need something to fit it with ;)

Lol, didnt think of that!

I was going to put the air box down in the arch where the standard supply is then was going to take a feed from the fog light location too.

Were you wanting to get a feed from nearer the front of the bumper Alex? Because if so and you put the CDA inside the arch, you'll probably struggle to get a decent angle of ducting from the CDA to the bumper.

This is my old set up that Ste's on about, made from an ebay Prelude induction pipe that I cut up...

This is some of my playing about, to maybe inspire you...

And this is going to be my new set up...

... But with a black 45 degree instead of the blue 90, to work with MY new cold air feed ;-)
