I'm gonna be getting the kit soon just to make it look all pretty under the bonnet but looking at that pic on the site...... the inlet pip does come with the kit.

that's what I thought, it looks like the one on the left top of the photo??

if It's £237 for the lot then I'll be up for a set, got to replace most of the under bonnet piping etc to smarten things up so why the devil not!

Was the inlet pipe meant to be part of the kit?

If so, and he's charging you £10 because they didnt send you it?

sweet that saves some extra cost, I was 90% going to do the Samco hose thing anyway to smarten up the bay with polished/brushed rocker cover & inlet manifold should look sweet!

Nice handiwork!!!

Need to get yourself a proper closed induction kit with a cold air feed Greg, it'll be loud but raw, my old custom/samco jobbie was sex on a stick, even non-petrolheads commented on how good the car sounded!!(theres nothing like induction roar)

Just from my experience it IS worth it, on my 205 I moved the same PiperX you have there from behined the engine above the exhaust manifold (with a heat sheild) to a closed BMC airbox where the battery was to the right of the engine with a proper cold air feed and it really did make a huge difference to throttle response and it didn't lose power on hot days!!
