New custom airbox and inlet pipe on my W8

Post by dmcessential »

Just had a custom Airbox fabricated and installed by RS Fabrications in Banbury. The quality is stunning with welding I have never seen as good. Would recommend them to anyone and this design may fit other B5's and 5.5's. I had it done as the engine temp is so high I felt I was superheating the air before it even reached the engine so was trying to get a cold intake and keep it cold by having polished aluminium to help reflect the heat. Don't know if it works, but it looks and sounds good!!
