Hey All,

I have some big plans in the future for my car, but at the moment its stock as a rock and I just want to get a bit more noise from the otherwise silent motor haha.

I can't afford in my budget to put a Full CAI Kit in place, so I just want to pull out the air box and put a pod filter on the end of the intake pipe (that normally goes to the air box).

It appears to have what looks like a spring coil clamp on the end of the air intake hose, should I remove this or just put a hose clamp over it?

I was just going to get some metal piping to join the intake hose to the pod filter but i'm not sure the thickness of piping needed (looks like 2.5"/3"?)
