Pretty common intake mod without making any drastic changes you will probably find most on here who have the standard CAI have fitted this larger snorkel. Getting more air in can only be a good thing in but don't expect massive power changes, you will more than likely not notice a thing. You would also have to be doing massive km's to save $15 fuel a week as the ad suggests
 Most on ebay go for $35 though so look around, you should be able to get one for about $30 from Ford and save yourself the postage.

Bigger intakes done properly all add up to more power and efficiency. Put it this way your car is not going to lose power putting one of these on but I doubt you will feel any gains either they will be that small. For $40 it won't hurt and I don't think it's a waste of money. Otherwise if you are serious about gaining power from an intake you need to look at something along the lines of what G&D offer.

when i fitted the xr6t snorkel i noticed an improvment in throttle responce..also, at the time i was travelling to brissy and back a few times a week (600km round trip..my wife and i were doin IVF) and noticed a fair improvement in fuel economy. ]
you may not neccessarily notice the economy change unless you have a particular trip which is always fairly similar-ie. traffic, temperature.
