Bigger is better for a turbo diesel like the 2.8. Hell if it would fit I would have a 5" on my 4.2 for performance reasons.
Would be like hanging a chimney on the side of the patrol.
Mate, if you have got pics of the upgrade that would be a great help.
Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .
WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.
Will post pics once finished

Do it. The way I see it is, even though it would not utilize the air now, but if there is ever a bigger engine put in you already have the snorkel for it. You can always restrict the air if too much, but you can't add more air if already restricted (without redoing). Less hassles to get what does the job now and the future. Pretty much same cost and labour regardless of size.
If your trying to get more air in might want to think about exhaust and getting more air out.
As most motors from any factory are choking, helping them breathe has to be a good thing
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
If this is going on a GU 2.8 would love to see pictures when completed, Currently contemplating doing similiar myself!
Cheers,
Eric.

I have the standard snorkel fitted if I was to convert to 4 inch would just go through the same hole after enlarging it and then reduce it down to a 3 -21/2 inch and run it exactly along the same route as the standard keeping all the original fittings under the guard to the air box so effectively would just really be a bling thing other thing to consider is putting a cover over the top as dimwits tend to drop beer cans down them

Just wanted to see what it would look like on the car hey, whether I want to go that route or a plastic one.
