i want to replace the hose on the OE airbox so i can route it somewhere good, but what size is it ?

id measure it but its a pain in the arse to take off, so i wanna buy the hose before hand so i only have to get it off once

Sure does, just a jubilee clip to hold it on.

My airbox hose needs to be replaced too. I assume the part on the right is the part that needs to be replaced. The opening is 65 mm.

Then the part on the left goes directly into the airbox?

the part on the left is the pipe/snorkle that sits in the wheel arch just infront of the front passenger side arch liner... take it off and have a look.

It's already off. I've been driving without the hose for a while now. Now that it's getting warmer I want to get this fixed, but now I'm not sure if I have all parts.

i know this is a blast from the past but would 85mm hose still clamp on to the OE box ?.......or will it be too big ?

cos i still havent fitted my BMC and if im to try that then ill need 85mm hose, if i dont like it though id like to re use the same piece of hose to give the OE box a better feed

On the bottom of the OE airbox there is a reducer to that diameter, take it straight from the box and its a bigger diameter 80mm will be fine with a jubilee clip :D take it to a nice vent in the passenger fog hole

I replaced the shitty feed to my oe box yesterday. This involved chopping of some of the metal bracket that holds the original pipe into the wheel arch, otherwise theres no space to pass a 82mm pipe through. The pipe which I bought and is slightly too big...so would advise to get something like 80mm.

Air scoop was from Hill Power and the ducting was from Demon Tweeks - http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=SFSSFD25-1

removed the whole bracket then chopped the bit off on the bottom that held the original pipe in place, then replaced the bracket.
