2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS DCPU Indus Silver

The cowl I have where the air intake used to be is made for LHD vehicles to re-route the blower intake. Sold by nakatenenga 👍

Tyres are 265s on 18”. ET0 which makes them poke out a bit 👍

Not sure what you’re asking James? Comparison of sizes?

Airbox inlet is about 100mm. Pipe is 102mm internal diameter. Wingtop adaptor is 100mm internal diameter too. 🤷‍♂️ 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html

I also went for the ‘ under ‘ option with the flexi pipe. But I have my silicone connector going into the airbox rather than over it. Still to paint the connector within wing vent black where it won’t be seen.

The option I’m thinking of for my td5 is using a genuine heater intake for a LHD car and fitting it on the drivers side wing top with a kbx scoop or snow cowl. It has a 4” exit hole at the end. With some sealing strip I think a 4” silicone hose with wedge tightly into the back. As mines a td5 I’m probably going to get a 4” to 3” reducing elbow going straight down at the back then a stainless 90 and it will be almost the same position as the stock intake pipe then use a 3” flexy to the airbox. It looks like you could you the same with a puma using a 135 degree elbow out the back of the heater intake.

LandymanStefan, why reduce to 3” when you can run 4” to the airbox? Does mean cutting some of the filter intake off but is definitely worth while doing especially if you’re td5 is highly tuned.

I dont think a 4" will fit below the steering arm. Td5 isnt tuned as yet, just getting all these bits ready for when it is. 3" is still considerably bigger than the stock td5 intake.

No 3” doesn’t fit underneath so has to go over the top, the pictures in my earlier comment show how I did mine

You mean 4”? If I go with the wing top lhd heater intake with a 4” it would look daft zig zagging back on itself to go over the top, i think id need a couple of 180 bends. 3” will go underneath fine and should look quite neat.

Speaking of neat your 3D printed side intake looks great.
