Re: 2ltr CU Aircooled vac hoses

Thanks, that is!

It’s the hose coming off the front next to the T-bar that had me stumped. Looks like it connects to the air Filter housing connector thingy. Hopefully i’ll suss it when looking at it in the morning. 👍🏼

Re: Replacement Aircooled exhaust.

I like the idea of Covkids solution but don't have time to tinker at the moment and need a quick fix as MOT is due. An affordable stainless one would help prevent future costs too.

thanks again all.

Re: Replacement Aircooled exhaust.

Thanks Tony.

Definitely thought the Empi one would be too good to be true on many levels! I'll have a look around. Do you have your eye on any stainless set ups?
