Just wondering if anyone has fiddled around with cold air intakes on 351 xes?

what? like a shaker?

narr - i mean piping under the bonnet


Not a real big fan of shakers on xd xe

i did one on my pussadore years ago using a original 351 air cleaner but put another entry about 90o to existing cut them off just before the flap and ran flexi hose off each to under the front bumper. didnt make much difference up untill about 80 kmh then you could feel the difference.just got watch collects a lot more s**t.needs a good seel around filter.use to use this setup in commodored cup racing

I have cold air intake on my stroked 378 cleveland in an XF not sure if it will work on an XE.
Sorry not very good photos.

That last one is a nice setup!!

I have something similar (but on a 6 cyl 250 2V) down to a K&N filter which just peeks out under the bumper - this K&N used to sit straight off the carby and must have been sucking hot air straight off the extractors - cos the difference was really noticable, even from about 20 kph on up....

mine was a homemade setup, used a flex pipe from a late model jap car, some 2.5" exhaust pipe and fabricated an airbox open to the under bumper air out of aluminium sheet - I also modified an (I think) EL under bonnet `scoop' (the kind that sits over the radiator support panel) that sits very inconspicuously under the bumper and helps direct air up into the filter...

Cold rainy nights its even more noticable!!!
