Default AU air intake

Today i went down to ford and got myself a tickford snorkel and fitted it without any dramas. I want to get the EL air filter lid and was just confirming that it will go straight on.

As far as I know the EL lids go on an AU. Never done it myself, but I suspect that some other guys will be able to confirm for you pretty soon.

JC would know for sure!

you need the EF lid not the EL item

i THINK the pipe going in the back is a different size tho..
may have just been how mine was due to having a 3" pipe

find a friend with an EF and test it out
its only a few clips and a bolt and a clamp

the outlet is 80mm on the Ef, the Au intake pipe is like 55mm, so yes you will need to fit a new section of pipe for au

Ef lid will fit and does have a larger hole where the intake pipe enters. AU and EL have a 2.5" hole, EF are 3". other then that they are the same, only reason to replace it with the EF lid is if you are going to replace the intake pipe.
