Was a brand new vehicle. Wonder if they are fitting them to all the XR range now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any should get a K&N filter or the like????Anyone in Melbourne want to help me install?? Cash or beer easily aranged.... Excuse my ignorance.....Cheers,Nick<{POST_SNAPBACK}>If you can drive a manual, then you can do this yourself. Not a real hard job. The tips on moving the 2nd CAI out the way while you put the bolt back in are better for my money rather than chucking it.I thought about not putting it back in, but then the whole airbox is only being held by the 2 bolts at the back. Too much movement for my liking.Give it a go Nick. Do what I did & make a template out of cardboard first. Easier to play with & doesnt matter if you stuff it. Once you have that right, then just trace it onto your airbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt there would be much difference, though it's interesting they have 2 different types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA2T9C676 (Typhoon) $66.07 Trade $81.50 RetailBAF9C676B (XR8) $44.75 Trade $55.20 RetailIf your quoted any more than that, suggest to them that they could do it a bit cheaper.

I'm trying to find a typhoon or XR8 secondary air intake snorkel attached to the front of the air box. It appears they are no longer available from Ford. Does anyone know where these can be found nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
