A novel snorkel idea

[MattF]

Anyway - I'm going to copy this guy (see previous threads) LMAO

That really is something special, that one.

[Sancho]

That looks like I did it

There's only the one air filter on the V6 so I presume there's only one intake. Unless what I think is the air filter is in fact something else, which is why I am not to touch things under my bonnet.

Has anyone considered putting one of those rally-style scoops on the roof with some ducting to take it down from there? Then you get your snorkel without the big bit of plastic stuck on the side....

[Sancho]

I mean like one of these with the vents hooked up to ducts instead.

And before I get nominated, no, I haven't worked out how you get the ducts to go past the windscreen. Possible on the inside of the A pillars.

And yes, I know that thing is not much cheaper than a snorkel. Merely an illustration.

I was just thinking V6 - he was trying two separate intake (like two separate exhausts)

Rain into the bonnet scoop - would that be any different to having a side mounted scoop - I ment bonnet to existing air filter housing which has a drain in it.

I was thinking more along the lines of

these

stench pipes!

Sorry, question time from me. What is to stop me (or anyone else) just cutting a hole in my wing and moving the air intake so it draws in the side? I'm not thinking about wading here, I was more thinking that with the addition of a little scoop you could be feeding your engine colder air with a little bit of a ram effect.

And it would look cool, of course.

The ram effect does happen as i have found that the truck appears to have more ooomph with the snorkel that with the K&N i had before.


That plastic one gave me the creeps when someone posted it on my snorkel making thread

Incidentally, can someone PLEASE find an excuse to buy this and put it on their bonnet.

One needs an excuse? I'd get one if I wasn't such a tight git.
