What do you mean by air intake? there's a few different bits that make up the whole system up to the plenum...

Yeah I need the whole system, At the moment there's just a filter stuck on the end of the throttle body.
Im amazed it hasn't burnt on the heat of the exhaust.

Can you post up a pic of what you do have please, so we can see if it is the standard plenum that you are describing as "the Throttle body". Thanks

Sounds like your air filter is attached directly onto your AFM, next to the exhaust manifolds...

Yes that's it not ideal. Surprised it hasn't burst into flames yet!

ACT sell an upgraded smooth non-collapsible pipe. Not aware of any brackets, in fact I cannot remember there being any. The hole it passes through to access the area behind the number plate holds it in place.

That's the whole kit, including the elbow - call them if you want less.
I use a K&N air filter. Other air filters are available, including the one you already have! hehe

Another option if your not too bothered about looks is a length of this, you would need a metal coupler to attach to the air filter and it would need to be secured in the nose cone area.

Does anyone happen to know what the outside diameter or the AFM is on a 450?

I would have thought it was the same as a 400, if it is then mine is 80 mm plenum end and roughly 76 mm air inlet end.
