Tommy K Member 2 Member For: 16y 10m 3d Posted 27/07/08 11:08 PM Share Posted 27/07/08 11:08 PM Hey Everyone,As most who have just picked up their new XR6T I'm looking to make small mods already.Are their K&N Air Filters or any other brands available yet?? My BF one doesnt fit. Its slightly bigger than the FG.I have a BMC filter which is great for induction sound and better flow than K&N.Any help would be great.

They don't currently have one available that suits the FG but I have sent them many pics and part numbers so things can start happening. K&N were very helpful and keen to help out with a new replacement filter. They are going to keep me posted on the development. This pic shows the differences.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48067-fg-k-n-air-filter/#findComment-711227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 28/07/08 09:44 AM Share Posted 28/07/08 09:44 AM Ok just a quick update on the K&N replacement filter. I spoke with K&N's Australian distributor today and they have a filter being fed ex'd over from USA at the moment which may be a close fit. If this does not fit they will be sending an FG standard filter back to have one designed and manufactured. I will keep everyone here posted on the progress and hopefully it wont be too long till one can be available.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48067-fg-k-n-air-filter/#findComment-711466 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 04/08/08 09:49 AM Share Posted 04/08/08 09:49 AM Guys,Just an update on the filter situation. The filter that was sent over from K&N USA did not suit the FG. So an FG OEM filter is being sent back and one will be designed to suit. I'm unsure when the new filter will be available but I will keep you all posted.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/48067-fg-k-n-air-filter/#findComment-714389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
