Default Another step finished for the c320 Airbox

If you have been following another thread, you know I recently purchased a c320 airbox. Eventually, I will be adding CAI metal tubes and a paint job to match the car.

Today I finally got to secure the rubber hoses that are squeezed through the core support. I rolled some steel to keep the hoses round at the opening.







Just for something different, I added some stripe action to the cover until I decide how to finish it.

Here is something I would like to point out - it took me by surprise when I came arcoss these. If these are mentioned somewhere, I totally missed it. In order to run the largest silicone hose through the core support, I had to remove these. Each one is held in by 2 push-pins. It takes some magic to get them out, but you can. I am still wondering why the little flappers are needed. Do you think they work like roof flaps on Nascar Two more parts for the Crossfire OEM box in storage!

James,
What kind of silicone hose did you buy, and what diameter was it?

Thanks,
KrzyFast

Looks nice, the flaps provide more engine air at speed for cooling.Woody
