On my EF XR6 there is a little horizontal 'splitter' or spoiler bit in the front opening that is part of the front bumper and sits between that and the bonnet, held on by 3 plastic screws. While I was polishing everything yesterday I removed it and it now makes a bigger gap for air to flow into the snorkel, providing the rubber seal is all good.
I havent felt any improvement but I'm sure it'll be giving the engine a bit more air. It doesnt make the front look funny at all, in fact I think it improves the look. |

Its not part of the intake its between the top of the front bumper and the bonnet in the middle and about 50cms long, held in by 3 plastic screws.
Part of the XR front. I dont know what to call it. If you have an EF XR 6 or 8 you'll know what it is. |

the part is commonly known as a grille
 .
although on the EF XR6 it was just 1 horizontal bar that just acted as a filler between the bonnet and the bar. all ef xr6's had them although most have been removed |

Yeah i got it on my XR6 what does it look like when youve taken it off? doesnt look strange does does it? Mabe on a white XR it might look weird if i take that off, but if you wouldnt notice it then im gonna do the same thing.
What about bugs and s**t like that, aww you might have a bit of cleaning to do after a while.

With it on the bugs are harder to get off. Take it off, stand back and have a look at your car if your not happy refit it. I think it looks better and I reckon a little bit more air will get it too, not that I've noticed any more power. |
