Or just make up a tube from the front of your air box to under your head light. That's what I did.

sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 5m 17d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 24/01/12 10:07 PM Share Posted 24/01/12 10:07 PM I did.open your bonnet and put your hand partly over the intake snorkel, get the missus to rev the car and see for yourself how much air your car requires. F6/xr8 lower snorkel is an $80 mod. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78658-who-is-running-a-custom-made-cai/#findComment-1185557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillz Three pedals are better then two.. Donating Members 15,637 Member For: 17y 10m 17d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 24/01/12 10:07 PM Share Posted 24/01/12 10:07 PM Definitely make your own if you can mate, most of them are huge dollars for what they are. The battery relocations are even worse, $300 for two cables and a bit of tin sheet lol Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78658-who-is-running-a-custom-made-cai/#findComment-1185558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The filter it came with was absolute sh*te. So by the time you add postage and a new K&N you're up there in cost with the growler..

Joey Thorne Donating Members 33 Member For: 13y 3m 4d Posted 24/01/12 10:20 PM Author Share Posted 24/01/12 10:20 PM its for my ba, who ever owned my car befor me has put a SS induction kit on the one with the large intake over the radiator n cut it back so its a huge hole looks sh*t and also seems to get really dusty, so am I better off making a box to suit a pod filter or the rectangle filter?

Bit more intake noise and a bit more response. It'll help more once you get a tune though.

But I'd recommend trying to keep the snorkel incorporated as part of it..
