Somewhere on this forum there was some talk of a [B]"Large Cold Air Intake" [/B] to assist 6cyl AU 3 Sed. with better fuel milage?
Cannot locate it now. What model Air intake would I be looking for? (AU V8, BA 6 cyl ???), Would replacing the Std Intake with the Larger intake help with the fuel consumption? (especially on short driving & or towing.) Will replace air filter with full flow K&N? (when finances permit), but require your input on the air intake & the cheapest place to purchase. Thanks |

Try Bayford on ebay or call them. They had one for sale not long ago.
The T series ones are now obselete. The "new" ones are $47. Same size and shape except no T wings. Here is one I recently fitted to the TE50.
