stockxr Banned 123 Member For: 16y 8m 1d Gender: Male Posted 20/07/09 05:46 AM Share Posted 20/07/09 05:46 AM hey guys, I had a nizpro cooler put in a few weeks back, and in the process the boys in the shop remover the upper snorkel off the typhoon air box I have, as the cooler pipping is now in the way an dosnt allow any room for it. So now I have a hole were the snorkel used to attach to the air box, which is now just a hole and sucking hot air from the engine. my question/ queery is.... has any one done any thing about it ie, blocked it up and if so did you feel any responsiveness from it, or any gains/losses???let me know how you went, and if you could add some pic that would great. thanks regards adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont even run the f6 snorkle on mine just run the cutout in the front with a lil alloy deflector I made on the left side (engine side of the box) to guard it.reason was I got told by my mate who works for ford that the f6 snorkle sits to close to the light and does not get the best flow and f6 owers were taking it out and running just the hole . seams to work for me and saved me going and buying a snorkle.

stevet Member 85 Member For: 16y 5m 12d Posted 23/07/09 02:42 AM Share Posted 23/07/09 02:42 AM Im in the same situation lost my top snorkle when I upgraded my intercooler and I just cut a hole for the typhoon snorkle but never bought a snorkle. I have been wondering the same thing if there was any point getting the F6 snorkle and covering the old hole for the top snorkle? Looks like redbackalarms has a great setup.

Someone was selling this setup on ebay so I saved the picture should I ever want to make one. I ended up finding an APS intake so I never got around to this. It does look like a simple mod using only a sheet of say 3mm alloy cut to size and riveted to the box. Keeps the hot air out and feeds from behind the headlight. Seems like a $20 job.
