Airbox Tray.

Post by LeeW »

Whats the general consensus on the airbox tray? Is there a reason to leave it in if you have an AEM CAI? Does it help provide protection from underneath? Does it help guide cool air to the right places or is it better off to help air get other places?

Having it in just looks tidier than a gaping open space,showing a filthy,and probably rusty,crossmember,as well as the fans.

If you don't particularly like the appearance of the stock plastic item,there's always an anodised one from Essex Rotary..

Ah nice! Are you the recipient of their “free hose kit”??

Been wanting a hose kit to jazz up under the hood.

Take a look on Merlin motorsports site, I'm sure they do a silicone airbox to throttle body hose.

They are a Samco dealer.
