well after buying this XR8, Ghia5L pointed out to me that the snorkel was MIA....lol....so i am looking for a new one and was wondering what one (other than stock) would fit on an EB XR8 and also be better than stock? |

Get the EL GT one mate.
The AU XR8 ones are also good, but with them you need to mould it a bit to clear the powersteering pump on the 5L. I'm talking from experience, I've had both on my V8.

It's all good though n1ko, mine just sits there :P
It's shaped to clear the PS pulley anyway so it's not like things will go bananas in the engine bay due to a loose snorkel fouling on the spinning pulley and getting yoinked into the serp belt. If it is used in conjunction with the clutchfan shroud then you can just tap a screw through the shroud plastic. If you're using thermofans (ie, no shroud anymore!), then just leave it sitting there. |

AU TE50 ones fit with a bit of customising. Bigger than the ELGT one.
