Yeah ms700 REPCO want $180 for a K&N xr6 T filter, they wanted $215 for an XR8 pod style. I bought a BMC to suit XR8 pod from Perth Exhausts for $185, still $30 less. I notice on your XR8 mod that you have two convoluted hose, as in an extra one joins where the standard one would have connected to the original airbox. Why is this neccessary, and what did you use to join the two togeather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falchoon I see red Member 5,758 Member For: 22y 2m 2d Location: nowhere in particular Posted 27/11/03 10:07 AM Author Share Posted 27/11/03 10:07 AM I actually bought my slotted discs (not the Gold) from Repco as they were the cheapest, about $119 ea - cheaper than discpads.com. I got trade discount though, their retail is horrendus as you found out.Are you sure that discpads quoted you on the correct discs, that sounds like the price for regular discs?

Why is this neccessary, and what did you use to join the two togeather? I have two intake pipes for two very good reasons. One is so the pipe can actually reach the XR8 airbox (there is NO WAY the original single piece of piping would stretch out that far, the XR8 airbox sits further away than the original XR6 airbox), and two is so the pipework still looks factory. I could have got some 3in mandrel aluminium welded up but it wouldnt look factory.The two intake pipes are joined together using a short piece of 3in aluminium pipe.
