Default Can anyone tell me what kind of snorkel I've got???

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knows what kind of snorkel I may have in my newly acquired car. It's bigger than a standard snorkel but has no markings etc. I'm wondering if it's an EL GT one?

Pics can be found in the attached links.

Thanks,

Justin.

Awesome, I thought that's what it was!

I've also got an AU tickford snorkel, any ideas on which would flow better?

Thanks for the advice mate, I think I'll ebay it now!

I wouldn't mind an SS one, but I just cannot justify the cost!

Are you sure? I've seen plenty of EF/EL XR's, both 6's and 8's with the same snorkal as my NF...

I swapped my standard one for a GT one, and changed to a K&N at the same time, and it didn't make any noticable difference.
