You could even go for the non-intervention PVC snorkel... for those who don't like to cut body work...

It will work, it will look dodgy and if you hit it on a rock/bank orr tree branch it will explode into millions of bits. Get an exhaust shop to bend one up out of steel at least it will be stronger and more water tight

looks wouldn't matter as it'd be a dodgy old truck anyway,
only be a temporary measure too,
spose if it broke i'd carry some flexible hose stuff that u see comp trucks using,
or i could just use that in the first place
hehe, hows that snorkel through the headlight, :rofl:
