Title: G40 standard cold air feed.
Post by: Justin14100 on January 18, 2010, 12:09:24 AM
I read on matey matey that the G40 had some sort of cold air feed around the headlight standard.

Never seen this apart from a little i can make out on that 5000km french car for sale, anyone got any pics just out of interest (G40 nerdyness wants to see more standard parts!) matey matey also said to bin it cause it restricts air flow as well as the silencer trumpet, your guys views on this?

Thanks.

The snorkel from the airbox goes into the cold air feed behind the headlight.

So I assume it's a restriction.

I've ditched it for a length of cold air feed pipe.

I cant see how it would be a restriction though, getting cold air should be better?

who knows! loads of myths out there!

I left mine on after fitting the cone filter. Thought it looked a bit bare without it, and with no airbox I dedided it can't do any harm!

If you have a stock airbox and remove the plastic bits round the headlamp it makes a really annoying noise.
