K&N Induction Kit, Question Options

[manphibian]

Hi, today i fitted the kit. It sounds AWESOME proper growly

Here's the Setup (UK 3S-GE), i have a heat shield on it to try to stop it sucking in hot air:


Now the thing is, the heat shield stops me being able to point the cold air feed from under the car straight at the filter so it kinda just points across it:


Is this a problem?

You could also just try crusing around one way for awhile, then switch and try the other way. Don't fool yourself, we're probably only talking about a 2-5hp difference, but you just might be able to feel it if you know your car really well.

Yeah, i'll definitely try it. And yeah, i've studied physics too, although it was quite a while ago

Maybe i'll put a funnel on the ends of the air feeds, as in theory that will pressurize the air

Who needs a turbo

Thanks for your input
