Here is a photo of my heater setup. I know that a lot of things in this build are big bucks so this is my two cents on a heater system that is not so "big bucks"... and seems to work so far. Some of the fittings were changed in the final fitting to get the correct fit with the hoses.
And I didn't use the fan setup on the left side yet. I wanted to see if the footwell blowers would be enough. The tip of my heater core setup goes into each of the wheel wells. (I have two of these in total - one on each heater duct) I could add a 90 or a 270 degree silicone hose at the end of the heater core to point the air that is coming into the core towards the front of the car or front of the wheel well... |

To clarify, the air inlet to the barrel is pulling in air from the wheel well? If so, is it being filtered? If not, where is the air being pulled from?
Thanks
