Flexible aluminium ducting

Postby CJ » Wed Apr 07, 2004 4:46 pm

I''m looking to make a cold feed from the front of the bumper to the area around the airfilter, does anyone know where I might get my hands on a few feet of 3" flexible aluminium ducting? The local hardware stores only stock 4 & 5" stuff.

What about a motor factors or woodies - I remember seeing some metal ducting in Woodies or homebase - sorry I can't remember which one.

Try getting in contact with a guy called Philip in High Octane on Clanbrassil St. I saw him with some of that in his hand one day while I was there! And he was using it for cold air intake.Don't have his number unfort.

you could get aluminium boiler/range ducting from most plumbing supply stores. Possibly Woodie's

I know that I can get the 4" stuff in all of the usual hardware places, the thing is that I need 3" ducting. I've removed the original plastic ducting that was in place, this will allow me to thread the aluminium ducting neatly down the the front grill. If I can't get my hands on 3" flexible ducting then I'll look at forming something out of 3" Wavin pipe and a couple of 45º bends.

I just left the bottom half of the airbox in place and sat the filter in it -
