Not only is it larger but it looks a lot better than the smallish stock one thanks KWIKXR is there much involved with the fairmont climate control change over? or just a simple plug and play kind of thing.. love the idea of the rocker cover might do a nice electric blue.. didnt know the xr6/xr8 had bigger snorkel..ill do that after my lsd :p.

I went to put the EF/EL one into my AU which is the same as BA but no good. They have a different shape in the bend to get around the radiator hose. I didn't think there was any difference either till I had a crack at it. |

Oh and buy the way ash I never got a chance to get under the lane on the weekend.

Oh and buy the way ash I never got a chance to get under the lane on the weekend. Ah ok. The actual issue I had was no clearance from where it needed to mount to the rad support and the top radiator hose. Thats all good, no rush mate. I haven't sold it yet so it's not going anywhere soon. Will let you know if it does so we can grab any measurements. |

Josh thanks better than xr6/xr8 snorkel? how much of the standard intake does it replace? You replace the whole thing the mouth, airbox, and pipe. But the wheel arch needs panel beating to fit the airbox but the mounting points are the same. you will also need a AU plenum chamber as it has mounting points for the intake pipe. Cheers Josh
