Greetings oh knowledgable ones . I am thinking of getting an SS inductions modified air box and pod filter to fit to my 2009 FG XR6T. The agent claims; up to 12 additional rwkw, better low down torque, better sounds when you boot it, and an astounding 80-100km per tank improved fuel consumption with easy driving. Directed me to the ss indictions web site for tech info where the only thing I could see was a couple of vague references from some NA vehicle owners. This mod is selling for about $800 NZ and fit it yourself. I find it surprising that the people who market these sorts of things don't have some tech info to back up their claims - suggests that maybe the claims aren't correct ? I have read the other posts on this subject and would be keen to know:

- has anyone tried this particular tack on and how did it go

- has anyone tried anything from the Ford parts bin - if so cost and results

- any alternatives or do I just forget it and save for a F6 ?

Cheers

Stu

I suggest doing some research, all those questions have been asked and answered multiple times on the forum.

There are many different intake setups for many different applications all of which people have tried and tested and reported back on.

800doll hairs could be spent better else where...

$800!!!

Save you money and get a FGXR8 intake and snorkel (modify so bonnet will close)with K&N panel filter.

No custum tune tune required but with the change from $800 you could probably get one.

Car will run a genuine 30-40rwkw more.

What!?

30-40rwkw's with just an air intake. I can't believe that.

This is true I did the exact same mod and picked up 193.7 rwkw. If the previous poster only picked up 30-40 rwkw he must have installed it backwards. But dont tell to many people as its a bit of a secret.

............you could probably get one....... by "one", obviously referring to the custom tune for the 30-40rwkw, using left over $ by not buying the expensive SS intake.

Anyone got a pick of a standard bf xr6t snorkel as I think my mechanic changed mine????

On the left in post number 4 mate

are bf and fg xr6 turbo air intakes the same?
