I recently installed a xr8 intake on my xrt and all instalation went well except the bonnet is very hard to close due to its larger size. The guy from spare parts said he fit one strait in on his one. Has anyone installed this? All help wouldBe appreiciated!

My seal has been moved back to where it is in the picture.

Its just that little buldge on the inner of the bonnet that's pushing it down. Did you put a xr8 intake in yours? Any pics?Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/65589-fg-xr8-intake-on-xr6-turbo/#findComment-975869 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows the standard intake pipe to run into the side of the SS air box.. However I want to get the larger oversized snorkel on its own and not the air box.Can anyone tell me where I can get this...
