Budget snorkels, any good?

[threedogs]

Yes a lot of pro's from fitting a snorkle,
4WD action did a test years ago on fitting one
To a 60s. They found intake air was one degree cooler
and a small increase in HP, another plus is in Convoy
you get to draw in clean air as opposed to dusty air from the inner guard.
Mines not that old only a few years and there is heaps of dust,,, leaves and who knows what
collecting in the crevass where the plastic meets the guard. Need to hit it at the car wash. lol
Alls good if it fits up OK but be aware of some of the downfalls that may occur down the track

G'day Dom,
There is some other options out there too mate, below is a 4" stainless AB and myself knocked up years ago on his GQ for under $150.
This mob below does a really good fully welded version also.

On your first river/creek crossing you could ingest some water
and therefore hydraulic your motor, as we know you cant
compress water.

Less likely to hydraulic a petrol engine though TD...... what i mean is a ptrol engine is a little more forgiving when it comes to water ingress than whar a diesel engine is

I thought i should ask you guys this question before I start googling and filling my head with lot of confusion.

What is the best direction for the entry point of the snorkel air?
Forward facing, side facing or backward facing?

Thanx guys

Lots of info on it..
Imo it's more to do with dust.
If your in a convoy of heavy dust reverse the head so it acts like a natural venturi filter.. it leaves the dust partials behind..
The rest of the time face it foward..

Ok, cool. I'm guessing the budget one I posted as a link should be able to turn and adjust the direction to suit the terrain?
Thanx
