How to make your own 4" stainless steel snorkel

[BigRAWesty]

Sorry, Compared to a standard nissan snorkel, I have a 4" stainless snorkel an airbox getting made up as we speak

4" is way overkill for any motor we'll be bolting in.. but they look tough as on a q. A 3" looks a touch small imo

Way overkill. It's all looks.

Here's a tip, every snorkel I have installed ever (2) lol, I have grabbed some small diameter vinyl tubing spliced it and cut it to the diameter of the hole + 10mm extra, filled it with silicone and placed it in, wet my finger and run it around the outside. This gives one of the cleanest finishes to the hole at a very cheap price I think from memory it was 5mm or 6mm tubing



Used it around the outside of a rabbit hutch door just recently too

I used a door seal off an old wrecked car for mine. (see a few.pages back on post #64

FanTapstic!

Sheet edging rubber as another option, it has metal clips inside to grip the sheet metal, and looks neat in black.

Falcon - awesome! And can do a good deal thicker than the manufacturer recommends too *cough*

How thick have you cut with this?

In this picture its shows you've attached the flexi hose to the air box which has a square input if im not mistaken, well mine is square anyway. How did this seal if yours was also square? I am just acquiring the parts at the moment, I have the stainless which cost $100/2m in WA, its 1.6 wall 316 300brushed, its all I could get ahold of, pricy but looks good. I also found a 90 silicone elbow which reduces from 4" to 3 "on ebay and a 3'' air hose to attach to it which is extendable from 300mm-1000mm for $24 looks mint except it has a round metal attachment, just wondering how I would get around that, you reckon I could try and smash the pizza box round or do you have any other ideas? Bit of welding perhaps? been waiting a while to do it but should be mean once completed! Will send in some photos
