would like to tackel a DIY snorkel install, got lots of info on the stainless part and cutting the hole, but how does the air filter fit in.

Don't quite understand tp what your referring to here mate???Originally Posted by dirty_dog
Are we talking air box or somthing to go inside the snorkel itself???
yeah do i just silicon up the original air intake or can i replace it all and put some sort of inlinefilter with the flexable tube. coz silicon it up sound pretty dodgy
There are quite a few options available these days so shop around until you find something your happy with but keep in mind space can be an issue here.
I personally will be fabricating my own when it comes time to do my snorkel install.
The original airbox inlet is via the LH front guard. When you install a snorkel, you cut through the inner guard, then run your pipe into the existing airbox inlet. Seal it with silicone, a tight rubber hose & clamp or whatever method works best for your build.
X2 and replace your filters while ur at it
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
does anyone have any suggestions for how i could do an inline filter cos as been said, space is an issue and i got a massive filter box on top of me carbie, i would prefer to make it alot smaller.
would like to know what other ppl have done? How yu gona do your's, Patch
I was thinking of fitting the K&N inline unit which is a sealed housing with a cone type K&N washable filter inside it, but im still thinking of just fabricating my own up out of stainless.
If you didn't want to change your aircleaner setup, why not look at a per-filter?
You could pick one of them up cheap enough second hand....
yeah i would prefer to change the whole setup as it takes up alot of space,but there are alot of hoses comeing out of it. are these essential or can i get rid of them altogether.
does anyone have pics of what they've done
Here ya go bloke,
I made this adapter with a bit of bent 3 inch pipe that i welded to a 3mm plate then chopped the under side out and die ground it back at a mates place. It is mounted to the base from a gas system. and heavy duty siliconed on!
I then went to a ricer shop and bought a inline podfilter, It is made by 'Monza' dunno what the part number is or anything the box is long gone. I then got some memory hose and fitted that to the snorkel inlet up to the filter. heres a pic,
The thing to point out here is i had a body lift on the beast at this stage and it only just cleared the bonnet after removing some of the under bonnet 'ribbing'
Also i would not recomend this on a road car as all the pod did was filter out the gravel that went down the snorkel, it let pretty much everything thing else in! I would stick with the stock filter it works real well, If i had one i wouldnt have made this!!!!
Hope this helps,
Steve.
