Hi Guys,
Tried having a look through and doing a search but not having much luck on the technical side so need some specific advise from you AU experts. I've bought my son a AU1 Classic. It's in really good nick and I wanted to do a couple of cheap basic bolt on mods to it for for better breathing. (He can pay for anything else after this, ha ha) I'll be sorting the exhaust out but I'm confused about the CAI mods. I've seen where some guys have fitted the BA air box, intake pipe and XRT snorkle . Do they just bolt straight into the AU1?

Thanks guys. Can you still get the tickford snorkle from ford?
Will the ba/bf XR6T snorkle bolt straight into the AU and mate up to the AU air box?

XR6T Snorkel is exactly the same as the tickford snorkle, just without the wings
 Tickford snorkels cannot be purchased from ford anymore, but they can be found on ebay every now and then (usually go for $100+), which is silly when the XR6T one is around $30. Yes, the XR6T snorkle will bolt straight on. Will take a whole 30 seconds to do Just get that plus a K&N Panel Filter and you will notice a little bit of a difference, mostly in throttle response. Plus a nice whirring noise

Would a F6 box and both intakes fit into an AU 6?

Old thread is old. But ebay always has widemouth snorkels for around $45-50.
