It's just a straight 3" pipe from super cheap . With a silicon joiner inside to take up the slack.
3.5 pipe would of Been a tighter fit .

You could put the mixer where the gap is or up further .

Yeah I'm really not sure how to modify the mixer to make it fit at all, cause I was keen to do piping from the manifold to the box, but yeah was unsure on what to do with the mixer

ps. what do you use to clean your engine ?

i know you wont like to hear it but either get a rubber mallet and massage the guard thats under the airbox.or a strong heat gun and melt out the tip thats under the airbox.you have to be a bit dodgy but it will fit.

Yep, sure does unfortunately. The 3" joiner that sits over the BBM is the main one that fouls on the underbonnet bracing, and the 180degree bend just fouls towards the back on the bonnet bracing. I just stuck some of this adhesive foam-type weather strip on the areas of the bracing that touch and it seems okay for now.

Hey guys

Just a quick question with my EF on gas and I have changed the intake setup to the EL style, as you would know there is a rear hose that is connected from the head of the engine and then connects itself to the intake manifold. With gas, it is instead connected to the intake piping.

I have now decided to change some of the piping ( keeping the EL elbow which holds the mixer as well as the rubber joiner ) the rest is metal piping. This leaves me with the issue with the loose end of the hose from the head of the engine, as there is no connector on my metal piping. Does this need to be connected to somewhere, if so, does anyone have any ideas on how i could go about connecting the other end of this hose?

either drill and tap the fitting into the pipe or find a plastic beather piece that sits under the ICS on the throttle body which is what the factory LPG setups used

I came across this while I was browsing the interwebs.
Custom piping might not be as hard as we think :lol:

Ride: ba falcon 4.0l n/a

Location: bundaberg
QLD, Australia

my ba falcon 4.0l n/a home style cia.


1.just when to the wreckers an got a intake pipe off an au falcon.the bit that comes straight off the air box.

2. just cut the au intake down a bit an squish it down your ba air box ensuring it is air tight too.then put a pod filter on it.(i got a flat head screwdriver and hammer to wack in down there)

3. cut hole in the bottom and side of the air box.cut the hole in far side near the wing & head light where it will help get cold air and upgrade to big snorkel. yer cheering (: if any body else does this setup to can you please give me feedback on how it worked for you.
