Has my air box been "modified"?

Recommended Posts

I went to fit my K&N panel filter the other day on my G60 and noticed something. Where the air comes into the box and the front of it there is no kind of ducting or pipe attached to the hole. Effectively, the air box is sucking air from a small place behind the healdlamp. Is there not supposed to be some kind of ducting that takes clean cool air from the front of the car and directs it straight into the air box. I wondered if the previous owner had done something to it?

The gap around the headlight supplies the airbox with all the cold air it needs. It doesn't look very effective, but it works well enough I've found.

 

The carbon canister is under the airbox in the inner wing.

Would be better to have the snorkel fitted, otherwise the engine will take in some hot 'engine air'.

 

Anyone know if the snorkel off a 16v will fit the G60 airbox? If so, I'm sure I have one spare knocking around somewhere you can have free. Let me know.

That would be ace if you could. It loves this weather at the moment but come summer and I'll need all the cool air I can get with my puny standard intercooler!
