There should already be a factory feed like that for the airbox. Well, I think it comes in from the wheel arch, but same idea.
It could be down to ambient temperatures. Or just the fact the engine has warmed up

i have the engine runnin a little lean and know that this causes exhaust temp to be high maybe this is the cause :? the standard air feed only comes at grill hight behind the light would it be a good idea to put one in the meshing bottom left of the bumper :? :?

Do you mean you know the engine is running a little lean, because the above suggests you have leaned it on on purpose, which will kill your engine eventually. So richen it up abit :wink:

My air feed comes in behind the battery direct to the induction kit (airbox when it was fitted)

It shouldn't do, unless you've killed it :shock:

They tend to sound tappety, but if it's realy bad the shims may need doing.
