Im thinking about holesawing the bottom plastic guard (below the resonator bottle) and angling the piping through to face the front. The only thing im worried about is what happens if i drive through a decent puddle?!? would i be better off trying to keep the intake up a little higher in the engine bay? ive put the the white screw/plug where im thinking about drilling the hole for the piping.. Any suggestions?
You will be cutting a hole in your guard liner...... Don't do that. Unless you like hydrolock?

Anyone? Thinking of adding this to the list of things I want to do this weekend, but hesitant due to the size of some of Melbourne’s puddles...

Noticed something I've never noticed before.......
The front bumper on the drivers side has a removable section.
This is ONLY on the drivers side for some reason. Does anyone know the logic behind this?
If it was on both sides then I'd just cut out tabs underneath, stick mesh over, then pipe up to the intake.

Bought the following items:
- TFI Racing Induction Hose from Repco (atm on sale for $19.99)
- Silicone hose joiner ($30)
- Some fly screen material from Bunnings ($3.60)
So I actually removed my resonator ages ago, but thought I would actually put that empty area to good use and create my own induction pipe. So looking from the engine bay, the stock airbox and snorkel remains, but the party starts happening below!
So from the outside... all people can see is that I have fly screen covering where the foglight used to be and if you look in, I have bought the blue hose for coolness (choices of colours were red, black and blue).
Results, my car is a bit louder and more responsive!
