GruppeM + RBC = intake tube question

[MartinP]

When i put on a RBC intake manifold, wich intake tube is it for the GruppeM airfilter system?

You can use the standard induction hose that went to your old airbox.. but as mentioned get a Samco hose.. much more durable, the OEM one will eventually break...

Okey! thanks for answers!

Just to update, I just fitted a replacement Induction hose from Samco..
Only bad thing is that the Samco hose is less flexible than the OEM and as result is a very awkward fit.. due to the fact that I have an RBC intake and the Gruppe M.. Just wondered if anyone else had the same issue and did they have to modify the Samco hose?

Ive got an SFS, with RBC and GruppeM. It doesn't fit completely straight, but is secure.

Best pic i have:

Cheers.. managed to get the hose on with a bit of force so its sitting in grand now..

So how come you painted your RBC?

It was painted when i bought it off another member. Looks alright though.

Oh right.. obviously heat-proof paint, cant think what this would do?

The member i bought it off had a NHB teg, so i guess he had it done to match the colour of the car :|
