Actually, its only just big enough for the horsepower...

Simon, what would you recommend as a better air inlet for the standard 3.7l Roadster?

I'm doing a much less radical redesign than above, but here it is anyway......

The first image shows how I added a carbon fibre trim panel at the bottom and a pair of neoprene side panels to channel more air through the original radiator. The original air intake is at the top.



Next the SiFab radiator, which is slightly higher so the original pipe would need to be flattened to get through the gap between header tank and cowl.



Instead I've used a short curved length of silicone hose, which sort of snorkels over the top of the header tank. I decided to blank off the space at the top to encourage more air into the intake. This is a simple inverted U shape made from aluminium, onto which is fastened a stainless steel blanking plate, edged in neoprene. It locks in place when assembled, and is a loose fit over the radiator, with no metal to metal contact.





The final pic is a reminder of the insulation I added to the intake pipe, and the deflector plate above the exhaust manifold, to reduce radiated heat.

Neat solution there Dave

Hi Rog, What part number is your K&N ? Robert MB has used a K&N 2993 but it looks taller than the one you're using. I have a 2007 Duratec which I presume is same as yours.

Hello Pheasant,
It's a K&N RA-096V. I was lucky enough to find it new but unwanted on ebay. Your 2007 should be the same.
