I am looking for a snorkel for my Jimny and was told Safari do not do them for a Jimny. Is this correct?
I know TJM do one but, are there any others?

Go plastic... I have an Airtec, easy as pie to fit and is strong. Originally had a fibreglass one and all you do is fix knocks and cracks.

Needed a snorkel, too tight to pay more than $25 for one + don't want to drill holes.

There's nothing like sucking in nice, hot engine-bay air. At least a snorkel sucks in cooler air.

its pvc plumbing.... it would be like a 10 minute install job if you just ran it while wheeling

Will fit this when going wheeling as the standard air intake is directly behind the RHS headlight.

Just want to avoid...

Do you notice any difference in performance between your on road and off road configurations?

Just wondering whether the pod filter improves performance over the stock panel filter.

The "dodgy snorkel" has not been tested yet so can't comment on it yet. As for the POD, there's definitely a bit more acceleration although at highway speed there is a flat spot when I try to accelerate. The noise it makes is neat :-)

I have a flat panel K&N filter in the airbox as well.

do you put anything over the hole left in the stock airbox when it is not in use ?

Yeah. It's not on in that photo. I just gaffa tape an aerosol lid over the top. Fits perfectly... almost!!
