I got mine from Rocket Industries ... they are at Huntingwood (Western Sydney) ... I got a 3" 90 degree bend ... it cost me around the $70 mark ... cos of the bend.

They aren't cheap ... but they are made damn strong. They should be handle to handle a hell of a lot of boost pressure.

I used it on the intake of my XG ute ... as there was limited room for pipe work for the pod.

Does anyone know the best place to buy an XR8 aftermarket bonnet in Sydney? Do they fit properly and does anyone have any pics of one already fitted?
