pvc pipe... is cheaper, and when you lean it against a rock or tree, it dont matter if it breaks coz it is quick cheep and easy to fix

I agree has to look sweet, I didnt use stainless but that would be better. I just drop the old troll of at the zort shop for a while and he bent up a bit of 3" pipe, I made up brakets and welded them on and gave it a few glossy coats of black, cut a hole in the guard and lined the edge with the smallest loom tube and wacked it on.

Its only an old MK but if done right in stainless or painted steel they look great on any car and WORK like they should. Best thing mine cost about 100$ that included the ram top and a rubber 90de elbow.

Cheers Sterlo

On a similar but different note, I've got a Safari snorkel, all good till today I fitted an ARB battery tray on the left hand side. I have to move the snorkel hose, need a bend to fit and extend the pipe a few cm.s. About 80 degrees should do it. Any suggestions.

My GQ has an "airflow" brand snorkel.

The fit and finish of it is rubbish compared to Safari or Airtec.

Out of those two though, on a GQ i'd go the airtec. It seems to have a larger body diameter than the Safari, so you could argue it will flow better.

But they could have new, higher flowing designs out these days.

LOL wouldnt be suprised.

Might rip it off and go with one of the stainless jobs. They suit GQ's and I'll be able to cut the pipe to location of the hole already in my quarter panel.
