Snorkel fitted and finished yesterday . Sorry about the angle of the pic as I parked alongside the fence . Does this mean when you tick things off your wishlist you add two or three or four more things to replace it with ? LOL .

Thanks John . All the best to you and your family aswell . Early days but I reckon they are down 50 deg on average across the board . Will put it out there though that my factory system had been modded somewhat . This beaudesert system really is great , does feel like a few more ponys have been let loose under the bonnet . So I'm happy .

Thats great Only heard good reports of the Beaudesert 2.75" and the Di, seems to be a great match.
Seems the 3".0 allows over boost, gotta help consuption to I would imagine? Smoother all round

Update , the last few months I removed my overlander aux battery and had it as the main starter battery . The original died . So today went to R&J batteries in tullamarine and got a new delcor maintenance free battery . Fitted it in this arvo after work . Hopefully its a great thing .Not much change out of 200 $ so fingers crossed .
