ebay snorkel mod

[southernXterra]

I think it was a Concept Customs (no longer being made). Closest thing is the Xoskel, which I have on mine.

Where could I buy the one that you are using? Also about how much does it cost?

I've seen it just looking around on the internet on other 4x4 vehicles. Instead of the hole being really close to the air intake you plumb it farther away before bringing it onto the fender. After that point it looks just like a normal snorkel.

I talked to Luke about this a few weeks ago. Making it so you can remove the snorkel and have it be a filtered direct air intake.

I know the one I put on Terra (Navarra snorkel) plumbs in farther back than the one Drb has, which essentially comes straight out from the intake. I do think it would be optimal to have a switch-out for a low-profile intake. Steeze fabbed one of those out of fiberglass that was pretty cool. The only issue I see with it in my application is it was a beeatch to get the nuts onto the bolts into the snork from behind the fender where there is no space for chubby hands....

That picture looks familiar. Heh. Not a lot of room to work with right there

 

[NMTerras]

for sure. even without the 90 tube installed, it was a bear getting those nuts threaded on

Why can't they have them this cheap for the 2nd Gens...

 

[Prime]

Because you guys can buy legit ones. Heh

 

[GPD605X]

:weep:

Trust me the 450 I paid for my 1st gen stunk.
Thinking I will have to pay 350 or so for kgb's 2nd gen sux even more

 

[GPD605X]

I know right now there's a GB going on w/ Airflow Snorks... I think they are running $385. To me, that just too much. I'll never actually use it, just looks bad arse. If I knew someone who could mold me one and make one out of fiberglass, I would certainly do that.

I paid 3 and change for the one I put on my old YJ. It was an actual ARB. It came w/ actual instructions, a legitimate template, and hardware to move things under the hood and make all the connections. There's a lot to be said for the kit actually coming with everything you need and not having to rig something up.

This. Although I made mine work and there's something to be said for "do it yourself," instructions and that would have been nice.

Order a new one

 

[Xterrafauss]

Order a new one

But where should I put it?

Get two new ones and just move it down on the fender?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[yellowx16]

I'd say put it on the snorkel, I think that'd look pretty good

That's an idea get it in white letters instead of black........ohhhhhhhhh creeeepppyyyyyyyyy!

 

[Roadwarrior]

You could melt them on to the snorkel with a heat gun to make sure they stay on there.

Sub'd for updates on this.

You gonna update this or your build when you start the install, Blake?

The only problem I have committing to a snorkel, is that I have a Volant CAI with a huge opening that rests against the engine bay fender.

I sent volant an email requesting a solution and still waiting for a reply.

I too have the Volant CAI on mine. Same issue-open on one side with that little cushiony edge that butts against the fender wall where opening is.

How to seal that other wise the connection to the Volant box is moot--just run hose through existing hole, patch and seal around the hole around hose, and silicone edges of Volant to the fender wall where it meets? (IE use the fender wall as one side of the "box")

OK some questions. Guys who did the Apollo air flter mod: where did you put your MAS AF Sensor? How about the smaller one that plugs in the box? I do see that hooked into the apollo - its the MAS that worries me the most.

Also anyone interested in used volant CAI when and if I do this mod?

Thanks,

Lee
