Stainless or Safari snorkel??

[Alitis007]

Hello all, just wanting to know the benefits of having the plastic safari snorkel or a stainless steel snorkel. Which one flows more? Is rear facing or forward facing better? I'm not sure how much the Safari snorkel is worth but i rekon i could make my own stainless snorkel with chance from $100.

Cheers

Mate if you can do that for that price why are you asking this question!!! Stainless looks shit hot. I'm getting one eventually.

Hey George, great to see you make an appearance last night mate, you should have hung around for the Cookup! It was a winner.

I reckon the Safari looks good on the GU. Especially a nice shiny stock one like yours mate. Very nice clean car. The stainless looks good on a modded car with a tube bar so it really depends what your going to do to the car.

A 4" stainless has better flow than a safari and they face backwards because they would catch too much rain if they faced forward. The safari head is fluted to send the water out the base of the head rather than down the snorkel.

Safari actually make some decent flowing snorkels now. We put the new style one on the mrs GQ and its huge would be twice the size of the old style. I did a stainless one on my GQ and it cost me around $200. The expensive part was the 4" rubber bends I used.

I'm getting a brushed stainless one from from Les the Tinman in Vic. If you know his work you'll know what I mean. fully tig welded no rubber

The Stainless steel snorkels look so tuff and u would assume breathe better.

Daren thats why i'm asking, all the dust everywhere got me thinking sucking air from the inner guard can't be that healthy for the motor. I like the stocky look but the wheels were turning after i seen a few of the trols around the camp and the comp style bar looks a treat but thats for another thread lol. I have seen a couple of styles and i like this Chris your not wrong at all bud bud as for flow dunno, how many trollers have had both and felt the difference??

This would be cheaper and easier to make but IMO doesn't look neat, your thoughts??ImageUploadedByTapatalk1353278250.475979.jpg

I like the look of rubber elbows, I think it makes the snorkel look tough! If your looking to save some money then I reckon rubber elbows would be a lot cheaper than mandrel bending or welding. I have some pics and prices of mine near the end of the 'how to make your own stainless snorkel' thread.
