For an EF but im sure it will fit an ED with a bit of persuasion

not sure if this'll help you but i have an au airbox is similar to an ed's and both the tickford and v8 snorkels fitted.....in the end though i went for a ba xr6 turbo item as it has a wider opening than both of them...but the actual funnel is the same size shape....best bet is to hold the two up against each other.....
hope this helps

Aunger make a snorkel. Half the price to SS and what I've heard, are very good.

No, the AU XR6 Snorkal is exactly the same as Falcon Snorkals.

Only the AUII/III XR8 220 & T-Series got the slightly larger Tickford Snorkal.

You can't buy these from Ford any more.

they must have had one still in stock because they are no longer available , they have been replaced by the BA turbo one.

we purchased the last ones ford had, and just about run out of those ones now.

No, the XR8 snorkel is the one you have pictured and is larger in intake opening and has the Tickford logo on it as well. The XR6 (both HP And VCT) shared the exact intake snorkle as the Forte. Smaller intake, no Tickford logo.

The Tickford one has been replaced by a BA Falcon one. Part Number is BA9A624A and costs about $34.00. Have one on my AU XR6.

Meh , SS Inductions , Tickford , Aunger , they All do the Same thing , and the Grooves and Filter in the Airbox Regulate Airflow to an Extent , Your Basically Paying for the Name !

I Mean , If you have a Stock One and Want a Bit of Bling , you Get a Tickford One , but Apart from that , an Extra 13mm is hardly worth $100+ , Id Rather pay the $20 and Be Happy to see some wings for Looks !1

Even though i have one

yeah

Ill Be Quiet now !

Daniel
sorry

Just as FTG said, not a realistic change if you already have the Tickford one. I was fortunate, I came by mine CHEAP :dj:
