rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 9m 13d Posted 06/05/09 11:44 PM Share Posted 06/05/09 11:44 PM Does any body know the part number for the FG xr8 lower box and snorkle.I went to my local ford dealer and they said I had to buy part number 9600 but that includes everything (upper box and bolts etc) and would cost $260+.They even printed the page from their system and it has part numbers for everything little thing except the lower and upper box which has to be bought together (reference sheet M10.005).Any help would be appriciated.Cheers, Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51033-v8-airbox-lower-and-cai-pipe-fitted-into-f6/page/4/#findComment-873290 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 8m 11d Posted 08/05/09 10:40 AM Share Posted 08/05/09 10:40 AM (edited) I think there's 2 different ones mate (this is what the dealer was reading from his screen). Apparently one is "HP" (presumably high performance) although I haven't been out on line to check (reason tells me the only possibility is that one is for the FPVs?). The HP one is a couple of hundred, but the standard XR one is under a hundred (although that was employee price).Reading through the parts guide itself at ford I don't know where some of these dealers get their figures from - one was quoting me bullsh*t over the phone while I was looking at the exact same screen as him with all the prices in front of me Edited 08/05/09 10:40 AM by bunna Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51033-v8-airbox-lower-and-cai-pipe-fitted-into-f6/page/4/#findComment-874026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunna Donating Members 813 Member For: 18y 8m 11d Posted 12/05/09 09:50 AM Share Posted 12/05/09 09:50 AM To anyone interested - there are 2 V8 airboxes, and as I thought, one is for the XR8 and one is for the FPVs.The only difference is the diameter of the output piping - the lower half and snorkel are the same, so for the purposes of fitting it to your I6 - get the cheap one (under $100 for the general public I thinks?)

Vic-XRT New Member 16 Member For: 21y 7m 18d Location: Melbourne Posted 13/05/09 05:53 AM Share Posted 13/05/09 05:53 AM I just bought the complete XR8 airbox upper and lower including the standard panel filter (because that is how it is sold) and the XR8 snorkel from the local Ford Dealer all for $142. Sure beats the $165 which FTG Auto Salvage was asking, even if I do have to trim the snorkel a little.I can't buy the K&N panel filter for the FG anywhere today - all the suppliers I contacted are quoting at least a week before they becomeavailable.
