Hi All, just after some quick advice if possible.

Ive remove the stock airbox quite some time back and have now removed the stock plastic air feed pipe for a larger air feed pipe.

What i want to know is where the stock air feed pipe flows into behind the radiator and where the air box fed from there is a black plasic connector box you could call it now sitting there with no viable use that i can see.

Does this feed air to any other part of the engine that i dont know of or can it be removed? If so, how as i cant see to see what its connected to and its pritty loose already.

Thanks

Mess

Hi where is the direct air feed now coming from? Normally when removing the stock air box the feed is left in place to direct air towards the new filter element
