Default Will a APK caik fit + fmic? bhp?

Thinking of changing the k&n to a inner wing APS cold air kit,does anyone know if this fits or can fit with the fmic pipework running through the same inner wing?
The fmic i am using is an autobhan kit,thanks in advance.
Also are the aps kits ok at say 360 bhp as the filter is small compared to the rcm k&n i am using?

you will have to chop your inner wing to bits to get those two to work, If it were an APS fmic it would be simple

Daone great pics matey. just out of interest was it youre own idia to heatwrap the intercooler pipeing? or was it recomended to you?

also does anybody know if you can get the aps cold air induction kit for pre 97 scoobs as they only seem to do them for 97's and onwards?

cheers

yes thought of it myself, as after a good run, they were hot to the touch, and after the wrap was put on, you could hold them all day long. not the nicest thing to look at, but does a good job.

they have the silver wrap on both sides now, you can buy it off ebay for around £15-20, and a 10-15ft roll does one side.


will try and get some newer pics up

nope, didnt chop the inner wing at all

the black tape in the pic on the fmic pipe that goes into the inner wing, is just to make a seal from the engine bay hot air that comes from the rad. so it keeps where the filter is cooler

ditto but I sold my APS on and went for a Lateral induction kit, there was so much to cut with the HKS fmic it just didn't seem worth it...shame because the APS is a lovely bit of kit
