You can buy the Air Cleaner for $90.00 from Ford and the Snorkel is $60.00.
Part Numbers BG 9600 B and BG 9A624 B.

I have the kit fitted. Definitely improves throttle response and acceleration. I tried an SS Inductions kit and I wasn't very satisfied. The stock look is also much better, IMO. A good buy.

Keep in mind that if you buy the parts direct from Ford you'll have to modify the inlet snorkel to allow your bonnet to close.

Much work involved?
Got any pics?

Cheers for the replies

These are FG XR8 parts, correct?
