newxr Member 279 Member For: 20y 8m 22d Posted 28/04/05 10:44 AM Share Posted 28/04/05 10:44 AM Cheers BCR01 for that detailed plan..Ive gone to ford .. Its gonna cost me $55 for the typhoon snorkel.. BUT Ford wont install it for me.. They said it would take to long to do and would just be a pain for them..So ive held off for the moment... The parts guy will hold it for me till sat morning then its free to anyone.. He also said that I was lucky to get it cause FPV told them next time there will be VIN req ( Weather he was just BSing)So ill have tonight to think about it.. to see weather ill embark on butchering my Airbox cikas<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I watched as the dealer did mine - 30 minutes tops.If they won't do it take to a good exhaust shop - it will only cost you 25-30 bucks. Even on the N/A the induction note is sweeeeeeeeeeeeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its gonna be to much of a pain doing this mod. Especialy that dam bolt at the bottom of the airbox..I can barley get it off now . Cant imagine with a snorkel there.So I think im gonna pass on this mod.. Save my $50 and get some Stub Wanna's for the weekend insteadcikas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I measured out a template out of paper and then checked it a few times before I started cutting. The hole should be 120mm x 58mm, which takes into account the lip of the snorkel. Be sure to leave a bit of room around the corners as the snorkel lip is not totally square and is fairly small around the edges. trial and error, the snorkel will look kinda warped inside if its not sitting flush.After about 5mins of fiddling, I went with aiboart's advise and left the 3rd bolt out, it holds pretty well with the standard pipe and snorkel.cikas, If you havent started yours yet, heres the measurements I used which might make your job a little bit easier.

Ill be giving that a go tommorow.Ill let ya know how I go..Also Kaine how long did it take mancikas<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Took me about 40 mins all up. I was being very careful and wasnt in any hurry.. I bought a dremel this morning and it worked perfect for this mod. If you have any questions, just let me know. I got more pics too. Take those measurements as a guide, mark them up on the airbox and then put it back in and see if it lines up with the snorkel OK before cutting.
