when fitting a power box inlet to a sport how the hell did you get the black plastic pipe out the back

iv cut a good few chunks off, checked its not attached to anything, basically badgered it the best i can. it just wont budge

ideas welcome

Just hammer it and chop it until there's nothing left then wiggle the hell out of it! Best way, or try and get at from underneath.

honest jed its a bastard to get off. me and my brother butchered it and our arms fighting to get it off. theres a part which collects any crap which gets past the filter which stops you getting it out easily. we used a stanley knife to hack most of it out and brute force and some swear words and threats of scrapping lol. seemed to do the trick

I fitted a lexmaul, but don't remember having any issues with pipes, unless these are MUCH different

think so generation. i think the lexmaul uses the old black inlet pipe whereas the powerbox gets rid of it completely and has the throttle body next to the airbox. if you get me
