One problem:
In the US these filters are legal ONLY for racing vehicles. Not applicable, nor intended for use on emission controlled street or highway vehicles in the US.

However, it does say on the product page street legal in most states. And my state is one of em...but then at the bottom it says what Diadaga posted. Huh.
I noticed that after I posted, sounds like they tried to cover their a$$ after they put the street legal part.

So this is what I have on there now...

To install a snorkel I need to enclose it, which the apollo would accomplish. Wonder why one supposedly is not street legal but the other is?

That would definitely work. Wish it wasn't 140.00 bucks.

The flex tubing that comes with it is going to replace the tubing coming with my snork, and is going to eliminate (hopefully) any fitment issues looming with ordering a snork meant for a navara/frontier. fingers crossed, excitement building...
Amazon has the black one for $106.

I was planning on a volant too but I like the fact that this wouldn't take up all that room.

I started to install today but ran into unexpected problems caused by me NOT measureing first. I assumed the openings were 3"... they are not. Bought the plumbing parts and had to return everything except the 2" PVC flex hose. It's supposed to snow here in a few days and the temp gonna drop. This mod is now on hold till Spring.

How big is the hose coming off the filter though?
I made something similar to this for my DIY snorkel using a ractive cone filter

70 mm I think...just under 3" (?) it's too early for math

Yep 2.75" I see it now for some reason I was thinking 70mm was really really small lol

Yeah, i actually think that's going to work perfectly for the space in there. Might have to do some slight modification to fit the snork inlet, but shouldn't be too hard

Ok, I got it hooked up. Not totally happy with it but, it is fully sealed and functional now. Started with 3 inch spectre flexable intake tubing. Basically sealed up the airbox with silicone. Left the eldow piece that ran into the resonator on and hooked the hose to it and siliconed the connection. I then hooked the hose straight to 5he snorkel. It works but, I'll probably go with the k&n setup above later on.

My snork and the k&n enclosed filter will be arriving any day now. Hope to do this next weekend, and I'll take lots of pics.

Looks good to me that's the way I am doing mine as well some time this week.

I couldn't resist the damn Apollo filter, it just looks like it should be on every 4x4 so I bought one to put on my DIY snorkel, thanks Sean for making me spend $100 lol, I like the way these snorkels look, if I can find a new fender I may buy one

Yeah, it worked fine just not alot of room in there. You've got to beat the @#*© out of the inner fender to make the turn to hook to the snorkel. Be prepared.
