In short the FG snorkel and airbox won't fit the B series cars and isn't necessary if you already have the Typhoon intake.

justkrusin, give me half an hour and I'll get a pic up for you.

You can see the factory holes in the pic.

New holes of the same diameter need too be drilled just on the back side of the lip of the bonnet.

It will be easier to see and make sense once the original clips have been removed.

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,

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 :spoton:

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?)

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 become

available.
