CJF077, read your signature just before and saw you've put a K&N in. How many more kW's and Nm's have you got? Have you had any problems (ECU, etc)? If you've got em, some dyno read outs would be nice! (NB: Got my baby yesterday and have begun running her in!)

Apparently it is a newie, and previous models are not compatible! :( Comment anyone?

An XR8 wouldnt see you for dust. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/733-aftermarket-air-filters/#findComment-7635 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a search for it on the net it looks like it was designed for a commodore..PANEL FILTER - VT-VX COMMODORE Equivalent to Ryco A1358 Refer to Application Guide to ensure correct filter selection.
