Plan to take it to Tunehouse and may talk to Jim whether it's worth it or better off with a Secondary Cold Air Intake.Do you know where I could see what the Secondary Cold Air Intake looks like?Thanks,Vic Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50218-v8-hp-air-box/page/3/#findComment-745466 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was on the BF adn I don't think they are compatible with the FG. If you mean the Larger air-box being mentioned above you can have a search on Ebay as Ferntree Gulley Auto Salvage are selling them on there, or there is a thread here somewhere with pics...The boys at Tunehouse will be happy to help you out, they do good work.

Huh??How would your exhaust sound any different if you didn't do anything to it? More air in means more out the exhaust.Putting a CAI on my BA XR8 made a fairly noticeable difference in exhaust noise. Really suprised me how much extra volume it gained.

Now I'm a newbie so whats involved in installing this aibox. Do any of the std components need to be mofdified? Mine is leased thru work so I'm just mindful if it will effect my insurance.Thanks,VicVic,One little mod I did do with my air intake install was to move the seal on the bonnet back approx 20mm so it seals around the new XR8 intake. If this is not done then the seal hangs down in front of the intake mouth due to the intake needing to be cut back to fit under the bonnet. To move the seal this just requires two new holes drilled in the bonnet to relocate the plastic pins the seal is monuted with.Benny Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50218-v8-hp-air-box/page/3/#findComment-745622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surley wouldnt be good for the car? I know you would get massive flutter but that would be all the air go back to the turbo.... Could you do the mod which was done on the BA/BF Units... The pipe returning air to the Cold air side, remove that and put a little filter on it. And plug the hold on your crossover?

If your not sure do a search and find the answers as I'm not going to explain it.Happy researching.OK so I had aquick look and this should explain it.

Then she'll be LOUD. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/50218-v8-hp-air-box/page/3/#findComment-754338 Share on other sites More sharing options...
