There is no difference in the XR6 Snorkle, the AU3 XR8 Snorkle is different (larger, has tickford wings) but flippen expensive, BA XR6T snorkles are the same just with out the wings and $$$$ signs attached

Well in my eyes comparing an Xr one to that the opening is almost another half the size but yeah i'm with you on the rebel ones there stupidly expensive for a wing just but a BA xr6T snorkal as he suggested i think from memory you only have to drill 2 new holes or something to fit it

I can fit part of my hand inside the XR6T snorkel, NO CHANCE with a stock item.

Did you mod the sump or the K frame to fit the AU engine???

What lpg system do u have and how many kms u get out of a tank???

do u get more kms since the AU engine conversion as many ppl do notice about and extra 50kms more per tank, i guess thats from the more comp in AU engine???
