LOL, doesnt anyone read Sigs. I dont have an FG. I remember seeing someone on AFF had made one so I found the thread and copied the pics over.

He didnt say much about it, home made and fibreglass is about it.

This is misleading...

On the other hand, you have a factory made, stamped and highly effective CAI product, that performs essentially in the same manner as a growler, without the hassles from police (being a genuine ford product) and also no warranty hassles, with a product you're saving money on an one that performs well past 400rwkw...

A modification is a modification. Doesn't matter if it's a genuine part from another model. You've changed your XR6T/F6 to include a non-standard part. Your warranty won't be safe.

and not to mention the factory 'paper' element is sh*t. I don't doubt the K&N replacement would outflow the one fitted on the growler, as it's larger, but the paper OEM, not a chance. So if people are talking flow and price, add $100 for a K&N plus the time involved to piss around and cut the box to suit the 6cyl bonnet profile. Get that wrong and you'll be sucking hot air.

I just rang the salesperson who sold me the car and asked about it, he wasn't too comfortable with the idea and said I should talk to Herrod, he also indicated it would more than likely be a restricted part which means you can only buy it if you have the V8 GT not just a FPV.

Not really mate, as the dealers I have spoken to up here in Brisbane aren't concerned by owners fitting genuine ford parts onto their cars, otherwise people who go fitting XR8 intakes and Typhoon air boxes all won't have warranty... I think it comes down to who you ask, the problem with Ford and FPV seems to be that everyone has different opinions, which makes it hard for the rest of us...

Bomber, your maths is well and truly out, I have called Ford spares and the prices are as follows for the CAI kit:

Front part $93.30

Back part $100.30

Total for JUST the CAI (no filter) is $193.60

Add a K&N filter for $125.00 (I know that's what they cost because I bought one) makes it a total of $318.60. Now where you and Malarky are getting $450 from is escaping me, and there is minimal modifications needed to fit it, just lower the edge where the bonnet bulge is and refit the rubber grommets on top to keep the hot air out. You're saving a huge amount over a growler, which work well as I've used them before, but this is a more cost effective approach. The hard part would be getting one off FPV as Tab said they are probably a controlled item.

On a side note, that fibreglass one looks awesome, it would be interesting if someone could find out more info on that cause that would be a very good intake system.

I know what Ford's opinion is. Dealers don't make the call on warranty claims. Ford do.

It's not like you will lose your warranty as a whole anyway. Just parts of it.
