Airbox removal

[Robb]

Hi ive just been flicking through the old Haynes manual to see how to take the airbox off my s reg so i can fit a nice cone filter intake on and was wondering if there are any tips on doing a proper job of it.

I have a breather filter to replace the hose but what is the 'pvc valve hose' it mentions all about? what needs to be done with that?

Meant to get it off a while back but keep putting it off!

Gonna have a good go at it tommorow. Gotta go out now will be back on in the morning ta!

I have recently been told that the breather filter should be withing the cone / air intake because the car naturally suckes the air / crap out of the engine. You may notice this on the filter in the airbox. Then I could be wrong.

The K&N's come with a hose that does as pjg1979 has mentioned...though you could always just fit a little universal filter to the cam cover so you don't need said hose...totally upto you and as far as im aware no real performance difference which ever way you go.

wicked jus realised its a two spanner job in the manual. should be easy enough. ill probably devise some tube attachment in the future but just whack a breather on the cover for now.
