Mcgrln Member 2 Member For: 12y 3m 14d Posted 05/03/13 10:32 PM Share Posted 05/03/13 10:32 PM (edited) I have a 2012 fg xr6 mk2 ute and have already got the ss big mouth kit and panel filter but I am looking to move up to a whole new air box. Im struggling to decide on which kit I should get whether it be the herrods airbox kit at $495 or the growler kit $540 off ebay.Just want some info if anyone has these fitted to their fg n/a.

Not a lot of gain to be had upgrading from what you have now though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84212-herrods-intake-or-ss-growlee-kit/#findComment-1369168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XtRmn8 570Nm @1800rpm Donating Members 2,441 Member For: 21y 8m 29d Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 06/03/13 07:54 AM Share Posted 06/03/13 07:54 AM At full RRP I think the Growler kit is worth it. I am not sure about the Herrod one but essentially they are both pretty much the same.I went from a stock setup to the full Growler SS pod intake plus the big mouth scoop and I am glad I paid less then half the RRP price (bought it from the classifieds).There is a bit more intake noise and maybe slight throttle improvement with a stock tune. Maybe with a tune there may be a bit more in it vs a completely stock setup but still only very marginal.
