Induction Elbow 172 Phase 1

[tonesgtt]

Right, been to reno today to pick up my standard air box and strap and whilst talking to the fella there, im informed that the induction elbow/hose is changed to accommodate the K&N filter. So i ask how much the reno item is as i'll be needing one of those. £65+VAT cheers!!!!! Thats as much as the box and filter costs!

So, anyone been in this situation and got an alternative option? Im trying to find out if Samco/sfs offer a direct replacement with the breather pipe bit? Or, do any of you fine people have a reno item you want to sell or swap for a K&N set up?

Cheers peeps!

i rung nick as i wanted one, and he said it didnt fit the ph1 with the standard airbox correctly, and had to be 'mildly bodged' to get a tight seal due to the way the airbox sits.

Its the small things like that that bother me though! Looks like reno will be seeing me again tomorrow then

Middo, you seem to know your way round the P1 172. Ive just bought a stealth from k-tec and can find anyone who can supply me with the seal i need thats goes in between the cat and exhaust. I think its known as a 'fire ring' (i think!!). GSF/Europart and my local exhaust guy all drew a blank. Best my exhaust guy said he could do was a williams or 1.8 16v, nothing else on his system.

Will reno be taking more of my cash tomorrow? The stealth is the same as a standard exhaust so surely its a standard seal?

Cheers!

^ is it not just a standard exhaust clamp? like a U shaped one?

its just a cat/centre section gasket, not 100% needed, just use exhaust paste

For the benefit of any future thread search on 'exhaust fitting' it is indeed a simple gasket. Cheers FredYozzasport! Took the small centre section piece in to an exhaust chap today who had one on the shelf! Classic example of posting a thread on here and getting the info needed quickly. Some guy i spoke to outside of the forum said i needed a fire ring seal which lead me right up the garden path :dapprove:
