Hi,

I bought a silicone inlet pipe from a member on here a while back and finally got around to trying to fit it, I compared it to the stock pipe and all the connections etc. looked in the right places. Fortunately I took the first section of the standard intake before butchering main pie to get it off the car - for the life of me I cannot work out how to fit this new pipe to the one from the airbox. I have added pictures below (clickable thumbnails), any ideas anyone?

The joiner is meant to be clamped inside the inlet hose and then clamped to the std hose from air box to inlet.
You need to find two large jubilee clips to use the joiner tube.

The ally item sits inside the silicon pipe and the oe part fastens to it as normal....
mine's custom fab'd by RE Motorsport now.

The silicone pipe is exactly the same diameter as the flexi pipe, and the joiner (metal ring) has a ridge at one end so will only insert into either the silicone or the flexi pipe. Should I just get a different hose joiner the correct diameter?

Sounds a useful joiner then. Try a 70mm OD joiner pipe from the likes of Ebay etc.

It may also pay to put some jubilee clips around the main body of the inlet to stop it collapsing, if its thin tubing.
