Hmm.. might consider doing this on the weekend for that little extra punch.

Might see if I can source for 3inch tubing from my dad to make it look a little neater at least.

Did this mod today and I can agree... Throttle response is greatly improved on the stock engine.

The deeper note is a nice addition when taking off but once you're cruising you can't tell.

Very nice and simple mod. Thanks fiftyone.

drove around, stopped, poped the hood just to get my hand in and felt around. really scientific hey? the ea to ed's have a different setup so they will be a bit harder to do from what i've seen. have a go and post what you find out whiteknight

na, i think thats half the problem of the snorkel. the bonnet is in the way of the 'wide mouth' and then goes through a small hole to the pre filter box. as long as it doesn't heat soak too much it'll be right

Ye I know ay, he was full serious, and anyway, he wasnt intending to force air in, he wanted to disrupt the air, to cool it, like ffs, especially with a V8, the air wont sit there for 2 tenths of stuff all to even be effected by this fan.
