yup the hose is tilted to the front a bit lah.... i think the air will flow to my open pod.... i had put a heat shield to avoid the radiator fan blow the hot air to my open pod too...

next project will be installing the vacuum meter and volt meter that i bought last week. beside that i still pending on my pivot raizin VS to be ship to me also...

nothing else i will do on this car... coz i think its not worth to put too much money on it... better save some to buy a more powerful car...

not vr effective compare to how in seal up the CAI hose to the filter when i'm using the stock airbox... but that's the most u can do... unless like what u said, make an airbox for it.... of coz it is possible to make, i jz being lazy... haha... besides, with airbox, u might feel some air restriction at high speed or high rpm...

ohya, the front end of my CAI hose is at the bumper facing the front... forcing cold air to enter when travelling....:regular_smile:

nitrus: actually its just an alluminum foil tat sold in supermarket... my purpose is to prevent the filter sucking too much hot air... beside tat i had a put a heat shield between the radiator and the ram pipe it can prevent the hot air been blow also...
when vehical travel the cold air will draw to the front of the car... so i think wont tat hot also...

It took 3 hours becauce :emoticon_U:

1.im doing it alone
2.insufficient tools (only those standard tools by proton)
3.Taking out the snorkle without taking out the fender or bumber first was a headache.
4.going to suipermarket to DIY my own CAI filter. i bought "penapis teh" coz the material is stainless steel. cut out round and put it into the CAI hose. air still flow smooth. So, this can block small rocks,leaves etc from entering my CAI hose towards the airbox.

Done...
