I had it priced for the whole XR8 set up at Etheridge ford in vermont and it was $327? That's before filter and the part to go into the box.

It is hollow all the way through and there is a much more noticeable difference than the K & N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt-p Member 19 Member For: 21y 11m 15d Posted 04/02/04 11:28 PM Share Posted 04/02/04 11:28 PM (edited) Hi guys,If you can get the comlplete air box arrangement from Ford at a lower cost this would be better than getting it from me.I realize it would be a whole lot easier as well and then I could just send the adapters around Oz.Most of the guys buying the kit allready have the housings and stuff, that's why the cost was so minimal.Anyway, here is a list of the parts that you need to do a complete change over. Add it all up and let me know how much it costs in total.Screw Plugs X 2BMC High Flow FilterAdapter $50.00 from meCover, filter housingBracket, filter housingBoot, rubberClamp, lidScrews X 6Rubber mounts and inserts X 2 for housingTube, 6cyl. Airbox to throttle bodyAdapter B to join two rubber tubes together. $15.00 from me.Clamps, hose. X 2 with minimum 80mm id.Don't think I have forgotten anything.

He reckons that you guys swapped over your factory box ( I.e gave it to him) for the moded one, as to keep the price down. Yes I did do an exchange with Barry. Still reckon at $450, there a better setup than the self melting SS jobs for over $500 :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have pointed out that I fitted the kit to my XR8 so I already had the set up, just needed the adapter from Batterns and the filter and just bought the intake tube and a spare airbox pod from Ford parts. They were about $30 each with employee discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
