I know alot of people prefer the phoon lower snorkel or some thing like APS or Highflow's CAI but I was wondering if anyone had the herrod one and if so what is your opinion of it?This is the one im asking about. http://www.herrodmotorsport.com.au/HerrodPerformanceProducts/EngineComponents/BABFColdAirInductionKit/tabid/248/Default.aspxCheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great bit of gear but the f6 lower snorkel would do the same job for 1/4 of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The APS and Highflow are pretty much a larger aftermarket F6 lower snorkel and for $90. After all how often do you drive with the bonnet up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless your made of cash, then that goes out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have included 2 pics that might help.. In one there is a pic of the snorkel that was trimmed back to follow the line of the bonnet mounted rubber seal. The other is some 150mm diameter aluminium ducting. This was pushed into an oval shape and pulled out to fit into open area below the headlight. Cuts were made to allow it to fit through aircon piping. Food for thought. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Donating Members 309 Member For: 14y 2m 25d Gender: Male Posted 24/02/12 04:22 AM Share Posted 24/02/12 04:22 AM (edited) I agree turbo side is the best, however what if you get canaried? 1 intake mod right so intercooler + turbo or passenger side pod breaks that? I wanted to go turbo side but the other day I got pulled up talking on the phone while driving, the cop took one look at my gauges (my car is stock looking) and asked to pop the bonnet...couldnt see anything and that was it...now turbo side if the cop is slightly in the know would pick this up..anyone have this problem?PS the herrod one look like the 'autotechnica' ones from fleabay/autobarn which go for about 280 Edited 24/02/12 04:25 AM by JGP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
