That comment in itself makes it a very sad day indeed.On another and completely different note, WTF is with the launch dancing girls BMX riders (No Helmets), surely this is Australi and it could have been done at a Local motorway, with the vehicles supplying the glitz and glamour, not some local theatre troop.Scotty Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42743-fg-falcon-is-here/page/10/#findComment-635371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a bit like an aftermarket plenum. Being smaller makes it a few kg lighter than the old upper and lower manifold from the BF too.
