Aunger cold air intake

[shepv8]

Has anyone used an Aunger brand cold air intake?
Where did u get it?
Did it make any difference?
How much$$?
I have heard that they are better and lots cheaper than SS Inductions and the other mobs out there.
Its going on a AU1 XR8 manual with exhaust and K@N filter.

They are $200, $100 cheaper than ss inductions but still overpriced for what they are. I can't remember where they are sold but Aunger has a web site. I believe it is www.aunger.com.au. JC has just fitted an ss inductions version. Search for his thread. I believe they look good & make a small differnce but are over the top price wise. I almost bought one for less than half price new, that is all I believe they are worth.

I dont know why people bother spending so much on this sort of crap.
You will find that for the majority of the cars that the stock airbox and tickford snorkel is plenty.
Now for a fast and cheap way of getting more air in the airbox, why dont you get yourself the rubber snorkel piece of a BA XR8 cai setup, a tube of urethane and chop a hole in the front of your stock airbox, fit that snorkel, and it will draw nice air from right behind the head lights.
All for less than $100, and a couple of hours work.

I upgraded my stock snorkel for a tickford one. The car did actually feel it gained some power. Especially when your overtaking. A little more throttle response. Fairly happy with the $36 I shelled out

The tickford one is a bit taller and wider.

In a word mate , cause some of them work and people have the $$ to throw around.

Iv never seen the aunger ones how much are they and where can you get them

[duaned]

The Aunger Intakes are $199 and are stocked at Autobarn stoes.
Click the link below to have a look at one that I installed on to my car. The steel deflector you see in this pic is not supplied with the intake, I made this to force air (while driving) straight into the intake from the grille.

You can get them from Ford spare parts or Ebay. Ford is cheaper .

I got mine from my dealer. Its funny because on Ebay you can buy them for $50. But through ford they are less than $40.

I had a look at the Aunger brand CAI today at repco.. $230.

I pinched my Dad's Aunger CAI when I got my XR6 - he originally got it from Autobarn - noticed a definite improvement on throttle response and a bit high end. I emailed SS inductions and got the deflector from them for $25 - had to make them believe that my original one had been damaged. :

I've got the Tickford snorkle and modified my stock airbox to take air in from behind the headlight. Its ok but I'll get one of these soon... now THIS is an AU intake!!!

Its the G&D AU intake. Custom fit for AU's (I6 and V8's). Insulated and designed for maximum performance. On an AU there simply is nothing else that will come close.
Cost? About $650 so not a cheap mod but a damn effective one. No more intake mods for me after this one. I think Whoosha's AU V8 picked up 7rwkw just with this mod alone. Thats about as good as any CAI is ever going to get.

Theres one like it for the BA's as well that has been raved over.

would it fit an eseries do you think? looks good.....
