Hey guys, i was just wondering if its worth having a 2nd air intake like the typhoon intakes are with another one just under the normal snorkel? Would it make much difference? Cheers!

It would make 3/5 of 5/8 difference unless you have already done something about the 2.5" bellmouth in the airbox lid. You can cut out the rubber and run a 3" pipe in through the square plate using the stock clamp to seal around the pipe if you want to keep the panel filter.
It looks something like this: Or you can run a 3" pipe to a pod in the box like this: then cut a slot in the back of the airbox lid so you can put it back on over the pipe.

Ive got a 6 , and I Added the Whole BA Typhoon Airbox to mine .. Funnily Enough you lose power iwth it .. But I Grabbed my old AU Airbox and Made the Hole in the Front .. Mounted the F6 Extra Intake and Grabed 1kw ..
It would be more Beneficial for an XR6/8 Fronted car as the Airflow is Better Behind the Lights .. as the Standard Falcon Headlight acts as a Windsheild

glad this topic has been brought up, i have a dedicated gas AU and have wondered if a typhoon intake would help, the only concern i have is that due to it being gas it has a pipe leading from the original snorkel if i had a secondary intake would it run a little lean? as there is less air passing through the original snorkel into the pipe which leads to the gas converter unit thingy

Or you could add the 'Phoon intake, set up a pod in the box, drill the back of the box lid to ventilate any excess air the pod can't take, and do away with the balance line altogether.

as i said mine sits just inside the original snorkle so you think it is possible to basically hacksaw off the pipe so its just pointing in the direction of the airflow? anybody got a spare balance pipe they don't want?:P

Brent a quick bit of advice. I get mine back from the panel beaters next week :-) Give us a ring and come up and i'll show you how i did mine. Its got a 3 inch pipe behind the headlight mounter air tight to the airbox useing an EB bellmouth of the EB airbox. Gave me better fuel economy and power
PS this should help you I6 as stated before if you have an XR. A standard falcon you will just suck hot air from the engine bay hence you will loose power. With the XR front the air flows around the twin lights forcing cold air into the air box
