well heres a slight predicament, as an easy alternative to my pod filter being unboxed i opted to putting an el airbox in and some air intake piping back to the throttle body, now this is all well and good and works marvelously but , heres the problem, being an eb and having normally had a top mounted snorkel the bottom mount el gt snorkel kinks my radiator hose that runs between the thermo housing and the radiator, i am lookin for pics of els and pics preferably or ideas from other early e series owners that have done the same thing,
cheers, greg! any feedback would be appreciated, then ill post pics of how i did it

I put an AU III XR8 snorkel on my normal EB airbox. Comes close to the power steer pump , but it works fine.

[quote="cooki_monsta"]I know theres one user on here that has used an el box in an early e 6 but i dont know who.
I would be that user yeh had similar problem just went and got EL thermostat chamber and hose $20 and fitted that. freed up heaps of space now the AUIII snorkel fits, also had to make a 3inch Diameter whole in airbox to run hose from throttle body. Oh and block the original EL outake on the lid, wats the point of a hot and cold air intake? Any other questions let me know.

I also had a block of plate where the standard ef/el piping went, and cut down one corner of a standard ef/el air filter, mounted it upside down that way and used that till i put a pod in. As for now, i have nothing on it, have to get around to fixing it up

well for one not having to fk with ur cooling system, which i found out when i went to put the elgt snorkel in, and i have now copied dellboy and mounted the xh snorkel on the side of the el box, but seeing as mine is a 6 and not an 8 there is some flex hose going to the throttle body, tell us wht u guys think

looks weird  . I don't see any advantage with that twisty intake pipe from the TB to the Airbox. But i haven't tried it, did you notice any difference?

nither do i but, the std hose doesnt fit in and onto the pod inside so i had to use that s**t piping, as far as differences go, theres none
 did this purely for the pod, oh and to be slightly different
