is this a good idea?? just not sure how it would go with having 2 inputs... I had this, but didn't have the snorkel, just had some airseeder hose plumbed down through the plastic guard at the bottom and into the airflow under the bumper, this created a postive pressure in the airbox more than the stock snorkel did, used a manometer ( tupbe with water in it) to prove the fact. gone away from it now for a bigger snorkel as the hose perished and it also increased the ingestion of bugs into the airbox, also ended up with some water in there are hitting a rather deep puddle.

a pod filter is only good if you make a seperate enclosure for it keeping the hot air out (similiar to the way the standard air box works....most people just chuck a pod under the bonnet and this is no good as the engine is sucking hot air from under the engine bay instead of cold air from outside..i have a K&N panel filter with an EL intake and i reckon its better than a pod filter...i put an extra inlet goin to the airbox and i knocked off 2 tenths of a second down the 1/4 mile...

Well the AU XR8 snorkle will go on but not in the standard screw holes! First place the snorkle on the air box , then twist the snorkle untill it doest hit the power steering pulley then get someone to hold the snorkle in place until you have lined up & marked out new screw holes & then screw the bastard into place. I know it does fit in as I have seen it on a few E-series V8's & as Rob(yobbo4d) had it on his old v8. Cost of snorkle $30 from SINCLAIR FORD my local FORD DEALER!

Yeah thats an option but you may have problems doing that if you have thermos, they may stop you from rotating the snorkle. I know people get away with it by cutting the thermo shroud to allow a bit more clearance. |

I fitted an AU3 XR8 Ticky snorkel to my EB (Thermo's and V8). I just needed to make an adapter to reach the rad support, see the attached pic.

just a supid question.... i went to auto parts place today to get a pod filter, thinking i would just have to say what car it was and they woud have the filters marked what models they are for. but... they only get marked as a diameter.
so what diameter pod should i be getting, and also is there a plate or something that actually holds the filter into place?? it prob sounds dumb, but i have never done this before, and most of my mates dont mod there cars.. cheers

A pod filter will probably cost you power unless you do a lot of work modifying the factory box or fabricating a custom one. Just get yourself a decent panel filter and snorkle.
