the one that people with EA-ED use is the XH ute snorkel.
i'm sure someone with one will post some pics and more details for you.

yeah about $35 from ford, easy to do bolts straight in where the old one went. will need to cut the radiator shroud a bit so its sits flush with the support panel.

does it give the slightest power increase or just help with air intake?

According to an article on the eseries website:
"This allows alot more air to enter your airbox and in some case's is noticable. My old motor reved out alot better with the XH but no difference with the new one." (taken from http://www.deleted link/portal/kb.php?mode=article&k=30) Whether it's noticeable or not, you can't go wrong by improving air intake regardless |

Assuming your EB is an auto, for $10-ish you could fit an electronic shift kit.
