So, was wondering in the Home Tepot yesterday picking up some tools, and passed by the plumbing isle.
First bad idea.
Well after 8 hours and ha-wacking with the BFH, phase one complete.
Coming off the stock air box, to a heavily modified 90* 3". (probably the hardest part was getting the 90* to mate to the removable part of the box.) Fit the black tube in and cut the 90 untill the 90 sits flush with the fender wall !Important.
The box like thing on the wall got in the way. Cut a piece out and reweld.
Dave P. as always, one of my biggest helps
Now it will bend nicely down into a channel for the pipe.
Test fit and all looks good
Strap is holding it in place and top tube test fit.
Another challenge we faced was the fender fitting. You really have to cut all the way down to the buldge. I taped it off following the snorkels lines and slowly cut more and more. Finished it off with some edging I have.
Painted and temp snorkel head on. Real one in mail.
Because of the firewall, my lines are limited to the current angle. Solution I've come up with is to heat up the tube with a heat blanket enough to slowly bring it closer to the A Pillar. This will keep it tighter on the truck away from tree branches.
Overall very happy with this mod!
Specially for the price.
