What you think for

[mattsargeant]

As above and also would this be doing the same job if not better than the PD160 due to being bigger ?

[softscoop]

Yep will do the same job pretty much.

[mattsargeant]

I really do need to tidy it up tho haha, duck tapped at the back as u can see lol

Have you opened up the trumpet diameter on the front part where the trunking connects to the front panel - or are you using the original - if not I don't think you will find much improvement.

Just looks like a bit of a bodge :p

The benefit of the PD160 intake is that it looks stock to the untrained eye.

[mattsargeant]

It is a bodge job lol but saved me £60+ lol

Im very anal when it comes to these things and I couldnt have it lol, i think it looks nasty and theres a gap at the front which looks like the pipe is going to flap about.

But if youre happy thats all that matters

[L33 LHO]

Oh and you need to cut out the flap at the front on the opening

[mattsargeant]

Ive done that and i know what you mean, im tempted to redo it so it looks better or go to a breakers and the pd160 cheap if possible lol

Mine is exactly the same but with a sturdier pipe!! I even had the pd160 on before I did this - still like its a bit better

[DanHam]

Flap? Can that be removed from a standard 130 to increase flow?

I wished I bought a PD160 intake 5 years ago when they were only £35 new.

I agree with Craig, piece of tubing looks botched/modified, the proper PD160 at first glance looks standard.

I think the idea of the flap on the trumpet is to try and prevent water from entering the inlet. I'm sure by removing it you may create a little more airflow. I've also see people smoothing out the insides of the filter box to create a smoother airflow.

I suspect fowl play!
