As long as you have the intake snorkle and XR8 lower air box then it will work fine. You just need to trim the top section of the intake mouth to clear the bonnet. Another tip is to move the seal attached to the bonnet back to stop it from blocking the new intake and also becareful your belt on the front of the engine doesn't rub a hole in it when the engine flexes over under load. I've done some remoulding of mine to prevent this.There is a whole thread on this so do a search.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
