    Why a panel type.You should look for an Induction kit.

    Cheers mate, its a 02 focus 1.8 petrol. Looking for a drop in. Not interesting the induction kit because they sound too noisy and will temper the performance over what I am planning to do.

    Problem with the focus bay is that it will get hot and the induction kit will draw in hot air unless it is heat shealded which only the expensive ones (PiperX viper etc) are. I'm not willing to pay over EUR300 at any rate.

    I've order a large bore snorkel and pipe from the ST170 and will replace the OEM one with this. This will double the air flow into the airbox and also by changing the snorkel slightly to draw air from behind the front grill and not above it, I should get some cooler air in too.

    The has been talked about over at www.ffoc.co.uk

    Oh did I say I didn't want that crappy inducation noise
