does cold air induction work?

[BFD83]

i'm thinking about getting cold air induction for my au series 2 xr6 hp, but i've heard a few ppl say that it doesnt really work that well...is this true? cauz i do notice that when im driving when its cold of a night she drives a lot better!

most will say for your money just get the tickford snorkel if you havent got it already, and prob adjust your intake pipe a little even get the ba intake pipe then k&n filter alot cheaper then the ss inductions

i already got the k&n air filter plus 2.5 inch exhaust with pacemaker extractors.

Every Falcon since EA has CAI standard. A sealed box, with an inlet bringing air from outside the hot engine bay, is, by definition, a CAI.

Different versions of this function do the job better though, and the G&D box seems to be the box of choice for the AU6s. You won't get full benefit from it until you get an edit though, so allow at least $2k all up to get the job done, but you should pick up between 10 and 20 rwkw, especially with exhaust already done. You should be able to sell the K&N flat panel for around $100 to offset some of this cost.

If you don't want to go that far, BA Turbo/Tickford snorkel is the intake of choice, with supplementary holes and piping into the box another favourite.

how much would the BA Turbo/Tickford snorkel cost round?

[JC]

About $30 odd from Ford. More on ebay (though I did see one yesterday for $19.99, plus about $10 postage)

Aftermarket CAI on its own is worthless.

You need to get a decent exhaust and extractors first then get an edit.

CAI with an edit might be worth 10-20kw but without the edit nothing so its exhaust and edit that work CAI helps it all along a bit.

G&D make a nice CAI. Costs a bit but works well and has a nice finish.
CAI is a good place to start your mods. IMO. They will yeald between 2-10 rwkw. As an average think around the 5-6 rwkw mark. You may notice better economy with on too.

Sorry for minor Hijack, but does anyone know if the Lower half of a BA XR6T airbox will fit in an AU? Its got a second scoop and wouldnt mind using it if i could.

Isnt the BA XR6T airbox, design for a pod, i.e cylinder.

I thought the xr6t only had the larger snorkel, but the f6 has a twin inlet system...someone correct me if im wrong...

Dunno, and who cares? That's a BA question on an AU thread.

The lower half of the BA box fits the upper half of the BA box. The BA box can be made to fit an AU.

Hi and welcome to the Forums. Check out the performance stick at the top of the thread (downloadable DOC file for mods starters. Should give you most info you need on a CAI and filters too...
