If/when I take the next step, I'll probably opt for a pod and custom box, so I won't need this any longer. It's a great mod to keep everything looking factory.You can get a K&N to fit perfectl - just take yours out and match it up at Autobarn if you want to be extra sure. Not sure about the part number, but if you tell them it's for an XR6 turbo box, they'll know.Hope that helps. Shoot me a message if you want the box at mates rates.

As a matter of interest we found zero measurable power increase running a KN filter and F6 secondary intake on the dyno on the standard tune. However when you turn up the wick the extra air capacity offered by the F6 mod does make a difference. As for the KN filters I'm not actually a fan but each to their own on that one.For the record the F6 mod is not a CAI as such, it sucks hot air from the engine bay as the snorkel has to be installed upside down in the Terry but it does offer the increased air supply that the turbo engine needs once you up the power.

The Unforgiven Member 119 Member For: 18y 4m 8d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 25/06/08 08:57 AM Share Posted 25/06/08 08:57 AM How far in from the headlight does the snorkel sit when fitted to a Territory? On the sedans the snorkel sits flush under the headlight and gets air directly in behind the bumper, but from looking at it on the Territory the airbox sits a lot further back in the engine bay. Will the snorkel not even fit if it's fitted the conventional way? I wasn't sure whether I would fit the snorkel myself by cutting the airbox or get it done when I get all my other mods all at once. Either way it's good info to know. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/47002-f6-cai-and-kn-air-filter/#findComment-698192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought they were different, but the mob I bought the kit off must have manufactured special ones for the TT, I guess. Fits like a glove and looks factory, so I have no idea how the phoon one would end up drawing from the engine bay.
