No drama guys I'm far enough away not cause you distraction on the roads lol
It'll have loads of air stuffed down it when the scoop's on ;) don't you worry.
I do like being on the fringe, someone has to shake the tree now n then , I continue in a King Canute stylee :-)

You guys need to chill. If your concerned about legalities of a air intake through the cab call david metcalfe at extreme 4x4 sport and ask him where his went. He had a registered and fully legal and engineered comp truck that as I said legal to drive on road. His snorkel/air intake was a 4" pipe that run through the cab on the passenger side floor and out the back wall of the cab to a snorkel head at the back. I have been in this car while driving on the road and at first didnt know what this pipe was lol. Its a good idea and I think it cleans up the engine bay quite nicely and if this was a roll cage bar then it would run basically in the same spot. Keep up the work mate.
I have seen this on another forum on a TD42 running in excess of 200hp in a GU. The only difference is I think he has just run it into the cab and it stops where it come through the firewall. The owner reckons it was loud as with the turbo drawing so much air he put a filter on it which apparently quietened it down a bit. MR im pretty sure a member of said forum have a look I think at tye1986 build thread on patrol 4x4.Quote:

I've done this mod on my old Nisaan Terrano, and that was turbo charged. It does make a nice drone in the corner of the truck but not obtrusive at all. Remember the intake will be a scoop on the roof as on Subaru Impreza for example. The silicone pipe , although flexible, it's still pretty hard to bend and relatively smooth inside. The new route in is now nice and smooth compared to the stock Patrol intake box in the wing and then the twists and turns into the filter box. I'll be doing a pressure test when I finish it so I'll be able to give you guys an empirical answer to how much drag there is in the pipe compared to the stock intake ;)
This is also legal in the UK and listed on my insurance modifications list.
Thanks for the back up by the way "mods" cheers. No offence taken by the way , I am welsh after all lol
Hey mate, good on ya for trying something a little outside the box. I have an old MQ swb that we were thinking of doing the same to. We were just going to end it with a pod filter inside the glovebox as it's only a toy and not registered. I personally love the look of my custom external stainless steel snorkel. I copied ABs thread here but only made mine 3 inch. I look forward to seeing the roof scoop. Keep up the good work:-)
And don't let being Welsh stop you either! Hahahaha
Tap, crackle, pop
Well done on having a go. Each to there own for sure, but I have to agree that it looks awful. Wouldn't work in OZ anyway as my GQ lets all the bull dust into the cabin anyway so still wouldn't get fresh air LOL. What does it sound like? Any roaring from air sucking? Again for OZ (dust) I wouldn't let go of the primary filter for quids.
hes not done yet and it still has a filter so what little dust would be in the cab would still be alot less then stock
