Bugger me!
I've got the AU XR8 version of that, on my EBII, and it cost me something like $32 when I bought it new a couple of years back from Ford Spare Parts.

Okay, as opposed to going a tickford snorkel (which seem to be priced to repel) whats the best ford option for a larger snorkel and intake pipe for my VCT?

Still, the Snorkle does its job, regardless of having Wings or not. I just dont understamd why people need to have something that rarely get scene and for $100, i could spend that on a better mod, like iridium plugs.

Ordinarily I wouldn't bother paying the extra premium for the wings - just get a set of the badge ones for $15 off e-bay and glue them on the BA snorkel if you're still dead set keen on the wings.
Or bash Simon to nab his free one. :P
