I'll get some photos of the airboxes soon! For the flex tube (i assume you mean the accordion tube) i am just going to replace it with a silicone one. Silicone should be more resistant to heat and insulate better, plus it smoothens out the airway for some slight gains. Only problem is they're much more expensive than oven mitts! and for me i'll have to wait about 2 weeks for them to arrive from the US. I would advise against more than 1 layer of the foil reflective tape. Some parts of the airbox are quite close to nearby components so you don't want any rubbing or fitment issues if you make the airbox too fat |

![]() I tried to keep the overlap on the tape to a minimum and don't have a lot of overlap on the foil. I used the last of the tape and foil earlier today and will have to make time to go to the auto parts store to get more.
