WTF is that lol!! I know everyone says the standard inlets are crap...but I didn't expect that lol if I do decide to go road rallying I will have to remove the Mantzel box :(

Then you'll loose bhp and be wishing you'd not done it lol

I've still got the plastic inlet here but not the long pipe that goes around the side.
You'll have to move the throttlebody back over to the gearbox side, it's a total nightmare to work on as well with all that wasted piping lol

Just but a standard intouched engine rather than messing with yours.

I'll just bodge some plastic engine cover in to hide the Mantzel lol
