Any luck getting it fitted Sean?

Helloooo!!! After a long 3 hours after work it's finally fitted, started around half 5 and finished around half 8, the instructions really arnt the best so it was 2 steps forward and many back sometimes :signLOL: got it all done in the end though! Hopefully everything is secured properly :signLOL: the heatshield at the back annoyed me, couldn't get it to fit right no matter how many times I tried, but settled with it in the end and I think it's okay, other than that went straight forward :happy2:
Took it for a little spin then! I don't think it's too bad under normal driving but then when you plant your foot, it makes some lovely noises!
So overall I'm happy but I might go back again at some point and see if I can get the heatshield to fit decent, any tips on that side of things?

Well done buddy :smiley:
Good times :happy2:
Funnily enough, once I'd uncovered the bolt holes for it, the heatshield went on pretty ok.
I did notice it deformed a good bit though as I was tightening the big P clip that holds the intake to the heatshield? Maybe that happened to you too?
In what way is it not sitting right?

Maybe i did the order of the whole thing wrong, I don't think it's rotated around enough so it's not sitting quite flat over the holes but it's not terrible, I just really struggled getting it in to the correct position.
But yeah mine has warped a fair bit too, so whether that's why it doesn't sit right but it looks alright till I get bored and faff with it to make it better :signLOL:

Yeah. If you come back to it fresh another day I bet You'll get it to line up better :happy2:
For now just enjoy it and let us know what you think :driver:
Myself and r5gtt noticed poor fuel economy after we fitted our induction kits. Will be interested to see if you experience the same problem
