just get a BA XR snorkel for $30 form ford, will give the same gains. The tickford AU XR8 snorkels with the "T" wings are no longer available from ford...
All just cut a nice neet square hole in the front of your airbox tray to suck air from behind the headlight. Whatever makes you happy.

I queried ford spare parts up at springwood (QLD) the other day about AU xr8 snorkles and they said they have them available for $42.
I will have to go check this out next payday methinks.

what is the difference over the standard AU snorkle with these? 1. Xr6 2. Xr8 3. SS ?? is each one larger than the one before it?

I have the SS inductions on mine, it has a HUGE air hole in the side of the box. It does make some difference but definatley not $220 dollars worth. I was lucky and got mine for $70 second hand
 Id just go a tickford Xr snorkel or a BA typhoon box and intake.

I would go for an exhaust before you do the intake, and if you are gonna do an intake i would just get a XR snorkle or typhoon snorkle and then cut a hole on bottom of your airbox and have a 3inch pipe down to vent down the bottom of your bumber

i did this a while back, thought i would dig it up just for those interested.
I ran some ducting from the passenger side bumper vent to the airbox, but i never updated it with pics. http://www.fordmods.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19402
