I used to run a home made snorkel on my suzuki sj (silly little thing,i know) it was made from 40mm waste pipe like what you have under your sink!!! If you heat it up carefully you can bend it to shape, or just buy the bends as they all have rubber seals in them.I stuck a universal performance air filter on the top. Its not pretty but it works!!!!!
