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 ?CheersStu Edited 05/07/11 09:32 PM by snakeoilstu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many different intake setups for many different applications all of which people have tried and tested and reported back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
