Venom XR6 Member 1,460 Member For: 21y 9m 25d Location: Geelong Victoria Posted 16/01/04 10:34 AM Share Posted 16/01/04 10:34 AM I've got the twin intake on my XR8 and it makes a big difference. The induction noise and exhaust noise are much better and louder too, and it won't take anymore than an hour to fit. The front bumper does not need to come off to fit the snorkel as it only needs to be pushed into the hole below the headlight. I also have a deflector shield that sits behind the grill to direct the air up into the second intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear there good for a 15hp gain.. although they filter f*ck all.just my two cents worth I dyno'd my car before and after I changed over air filter assemblies, and I can tell you, it is all that! I picked up more than 15hp, and my car's filtration system hasnt been compromised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no K&N for me. Might look at it in the next few months. Will certainly be dyno testing it if we do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great mate, and the only DRAMA FREE mod I've undertaken to this stage. If MS700 got 15 hp without a K&N then you could see 3 - 4 more with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
