Mine is diesel with air box where your coil is, so I can't help with a petty as it would come through the guard in a different place.0401blakos wrote:help anyone,doesnt anyone own a 4runner????????????

I'm not 100% certain but I believe that there is a notch molded into the snorkel around the aerial and your aerial should come straight up not have that 90 deg bend in it so i'd say thats an after market aerial.
So I'm going to say maybe you have the wrong snorkel for your particular model, just a thought.

one other option with regards to the aerial is to move the aerial and use the hole as one of the mounting holes for the snorkel

You like that snorkel?azriel wrote:I got one of the Airflow snorkels and although its not as streamlined as the safari models i quite like it. The design was improved and looks a lot better than the original they had and the quality looks really good now too.
Oh yeah and around $200 cheaper than a safari as well.
That is one of the oddest snorkels I have seen.

You could try this simple option,no welding required.

Personally i cant stand the look of straight pipe connected with rubber elbows wether it be stainless or not myself.
i think all snorkels look like shit no matter wat there made of! thats why i wont pay hundreds of dollars for one.im making mine out of pvc and all up its cost me $67 including paint.and if i hit something and it breaks it wont cost me bugger all to fix.im after pictures of 4 runner snorkels to guys not jackaroos and land cruisers.
Same concept applies, just the length & hole position changes to suit different vehicles.
Personally, the tigged one on the 80 lookd the best but would also be more expensive cause of the labour required to do it ....... wish I could tig weld

Cheers, I cut and shut it all at home, then changed jobs before I got it welded, so I run it with it tacks and duct tape ATM80gus wrote:STRUTH, That's 1 of the nicest snorkels I've seen on a hilux / Surf, i did a very similar 1 out of exhaust tube and painted, I ended up getting a large radius bend for the top followed the body nice.
Need to get it welded and polished still.

Here's mine, made up from 3" exhaust pipe, just bought a bit of straight and 3 mandrel bends.
Still cost me $200 in steel from the exhaust place (mandrel bends cost me $45 a U) and made it all up myself, so not exactly a cheap option.
sold the old safari snorkel for $100 so not bad upgrade for $100 and a weekend in the shed.
I thought the ariel was in the way and patched the hole and moved as it was always getting ripped off by tree branches anyway, in hindsight I should have just notched the snorkel around it as it wouldnt effect airflow much and would have been easy done.

saves starting a new thread. can anyone advise on what the best size custom snorkel would be for a 2.0 litre 3y petrol engine with a 32/36 weber on it, i was only thinking about 2'' exhaust with a couple of donaldson elbow bends. i wouldn't think that i would need much bigger.. but could be wrong
i can't use a aftermarket one cos i have a exo cage on her. any suggestions and comments much appreciated.

Go for a 3". 4" is probably overkill but to maybe help here are the surface areas of 2", 3" and 4" pipe,Tonka tuff 4x4 wrote:saves starting a new thread. can anyone advise on what the best size custom snorkel would be for a 2.0 litre 3y petrol engine with a 32/36 weber on it, i was only thinking about 2'' exhaust with a couple of donaldson elbow bends. i wouldn't think that i would need much bigger.. but could be wrong

2" - 3.14" sq
3" - 7.07" sq
4" - 12.56" sq
Every inch of extra diameter gives heaps of extra area to allow better airflow.
Cheers
