Yep, flex hose is the way to go! That's what I used. Plus I have a functional ram-air hood. So I gues you could say I have 2 sources of cold air. 1) Hood , 2) Flex hose - airbox to front bumber

mean green - where is this third silencer exactly. i would like to remove this deal asap.

also, i like the sound of your fresh air intake [from fog light area] setup.[|)] i would like to mimick this setup. any pics would be greatly appreciated.

No way to get that 3rd silencer out of the turbo to airbox pipe. Contact Jim Barnes and replace that hose.

Wicked, you are feeding lots of cold air to your intake. Good job. [?]



That's the only pic I've got. You will need to punch three weep holes in the flex hose at it's lowest point to allow any water (rain) that get's in there. I ran with the hose for over two years and never had a problem with water.
