SJ snorkel

(1/3) > >>

V8MoneyPit:
What you you all use to make snorkels? I see plastic ones around that look home made (some neater than others!), but what is the product used normally?

I had considered trying to make a steel one from exhaust tubing, but not sure how succesful I would be getting the tight bends with the limited kit I've got. Would 2" diameter be about right?

Popeye:
I seen plenty of zooks with 2" drain pipe used as a snorkel (myself included) ,i'm not sure what to do on my latest truck, I ripped it of my old one twice.

Did you get total off road last month, I like what he did with his snorkel

SuzukiShrek:
I've considered all sorts for my SJ including exhaust pipe and plastic drain pipe.

I disgarded drain pipe because if it gets hit by a large branch it will shatter it and I didn't want the bits getting sucked into the engine!  This assumes that I've no filter under the bonnet - which I haven't, it's at the top of the snorkel.

I disregarded exhaust pipe since it was quite difficult (for me) to bend into the shapes I needed and was also not flexible enough to mould itself out of the way of branches.

What I needed was something that was reasonably flexible and would deform when hit hard enough instead of shatter. And what I came up with is ribbed tubing.  I've no idea what it's used for as I just found it laying around but it looks similar to the stuff they sink into the ground for running wires through I think.  Somebody here will recognise it no doubt.

Picture below.
