Not Happy!!! (Snorkel)

[Airstrike]

Well, finished work tonight to find that on my way home the car was farting and moaning so I pulled over thinking the box had fallen apart again. BUT when I investigated it I found that some one had infact slid a can down the Chrome snorkel (4 inch reverse snorkel with no filter). SO I am thinking about getting a metal mesh or tin/steel!?!?! made up and welded to the intake of the snorkel. Any ideas?? will this effect anythinhg serious.

Use a coarse mesh like Safari have on their snorkel ram heads. A fine mesh will restrict airflow.

It was bound to happen mate - a top looking snorkel, with a world full of d!ckheads .... A thicker mesh with wide openings (12mm diamond patten or something) would be fine - that bad boy sucks air in like no tomorrow, but as Tony said, don't go too fine.

I came back to rig when I was younger to find both fins on my surfboard snapped off. Yes there are many DH's out there. There the reason we need locks on our doors also.

Bloody good idea ...

[the ferret]

just drill a hole each side and fit a piece of m6 long thread trough it with a nut each side, you will then see a can hang'n out and it won't restrict the airflo. Wink wink!!

[sambar308]

here are some photos of my snorkel, do you think that the drain grate would restrict airflow.

Looks a bloody treat mate!! That steel drain grate works well also!!

[AB]

I don't think it should restrict it much mate, looks bloody neat though!

[Bigrig]

The only concern I'd have is it facing across the roof and not forwards - no air ram effect when off the accelerator, so it may restrict it a little - will be trial and error on that one I think mate!

It looks the goods but i rekon you may be restricting airflow by 50%??
