-What kind of piping should i use? Hard plastic or bendable/jointed/flexible piping?*
-Should i run the cold air feed up to the current intake or cut a hole in the airbox and feed it into there?
-where's the best place to locate the "cold air"/intake end of the feeder pipe?
-Any other advice ya wanna give me?

The material doesnt really matter to be honest, you can buy tubing with attractive funnels at both ends from places like halfords or ESP Design - Car Air Filters, Brakes, Suspension & Top Quality Exhausts - ESP Design Ltd

I woldn't bother cutting the plastic if your just using the OE factory airbox

As for location Id say as close to the front of the car as possibe maybe behind a grill or somewhere like that.
