Real Posted 28/07/09 12:42 AM Share Posted 28/07/09 12:42 AM Hey all...im a newbie when it comes to induction set ups... so I was wandering how much an F6 Cai And K&n Air Filter set up would be and is it hard to install? what are the advantages of having this set up? will it make some more Wooosh noises? and give a lil kw's at the rear? any info will be great on where to purchase and stuff.. I'm located in SA so if anyone has one spare for a good price I'd be happy to consider purchsing it cheers allS.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the above link and found another post with the exact measurements that are spot on. I borrowed a mates dremel and couldn't go wrong. Snorkel cost me $80 bucks from ford and K&N filter for $110. Theres a little bit of flutter, but you realy notice it when you run a bit more boost through (custom tune). I was going to get a growler but saw too many people caning them, and favouring this mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell you the parts cheap and then get into you with the labour.The bumper doesn't need to come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
