I don't think it would hurt, the more air the better! and its not gonna send you broke either

If you want to be real lazy, I have an already butchered airbox that just needs a snorkel for it. It has also had another nice big hole cut in it for the SS inductions bigmouth kit. If you want the airbox and the ss inductions kit I have decided to not put it on my new car as I didnt want to remove the bonnet rubber to fit it. I would part with it for pretty reasonable cash if you were insterested. Just for the record though, if you dont want the SS inductions thingamie, the standard snorkel will NOT fit back up to it. PM me if you are interested though.

Otherwise just do it yourself, its absolutely piss easy. I did it with an angle grinder without too much hassle.

Just bought a snorkle this week, asked for a bf turbo one, the part number I was given is BAF9C676B cost $96. Gona fit it over the chrissie break.

Guys - please! let me know if you want to buy one of these snorkels - I can get it much cheaper and there is a good chance the postage will still be less

Hi all, am running an SS induction system of the big mouth variety. It has been on the car since new. Was thinking of leaving it on and adding XR8 CAI as a second CAI. Any thoughts on doing this...looking to maximise air and then adding Seimens injectors, bigger dump pipe and bigger cats. Opinions greatly appreciated.

I've heard that the SS induction one can over time start sagging in the middle and start to close up (making it less effective at sucking in the air).

I'm just using the standard air intake, along with a typhoon second air intake and it sounds great with an after market panel air filter. Took stuff all to fit and looks factory.

Someone said in an earlier post that the typhoon and xr8 ones are the same, but they are different. The typhoon one is designed to fit against the flat side of the air box, whereas the xr8 one is designed to fit against the curved face of the round pod filter cover that the XR8's use. They can still be fitted to an XR6 square are box, but you need to put something in between to join the two items together.

not necessarily true XF - the BF XR8 has the lower intake like the typhoons, when the euro 3 emission regs came in, ford had to change to a panel style filter with box, rather than the pod for noise reduction

huh didn't know about that one! ya learn something new every day. cheers mate.

I should edit my previous post with something like "NOTE: Only true for pre-euro 3 emission reg cars" heh

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback and Joey thx for the offer. Will consider my options..its a few more months before the CAMS Super Sprint championship starts again and hoping to improve on my third place without breaking the fairly strict regulations. Thx again.

so am I safe in assuming that I need to go to ford and order a BF XR8 snorkel???? not a F6 1... is that right and the measurements on the previous page or two will all work together???

what sort of increase are you looking at with this seemingly simply mod?
