AUII typhoon lower snorkle into an AUII

[fernsantos]

can this typhoon lower snorkle be installed in a au i6 motor.

Just the snorkel thing that attaches to the airbox? Yes it could, but why pay good money for that when a piece of 80, 90 or 100mm PVC pipe will do the same job for under $10.

If you mean the whole airbox assemply, then the answer is also yes, but there's a fair bit of work involved, and at the end of the day, it's just an airbox with 2 openings - again, you can do that to a standard AU airbox for next to no cost.

i wouldnt say value for money mod

BUT
i did notice some response and a fair bit more fuel econ with that and a K&N filter installed (without the lower bit)....

NO it wont give noticable power, but like i said it felt a fair bit smoother and better fuel econ.....and NO i dont have proof but why would i lie about something like that

i got that whole setup minus the lower snorkle (cause i didnt think itd fit at the time) for around $60 i think but with piping all the way to the throttle body

hope that helps

You raise a valid point.
You could just go buy the snorkel, for around $30-45 from ebay and a bit of pipe from your local hardware and you will have the same set up. Also a high flow filter would better your performance(slightly), got mine for$85 from ebay.

waggaclint, the best think i saw immediately after was 700kms+ mainly city driving, but that was just correlational and doesnt neccessarily mean it caused it... LOL psychology FTW

NOTE: also i didnt do as everyone else seem to have, i just bolted the single bottom bolt in, fixed the snorkle to it and your done....if you do the top bolts up the bonnet wont close, if you cut the lower airbox well you gotta cut it
