hey all
changing my standard nissan snorkal to a stainless one.
wondering how people have plumbed it up once in the gaurd?
i dnt wish to use wat is already there from the standard one, as i have seen it before and didnt like it + i want a good join onto the airbox unlike the standard nissan one.
i assume flexi hose? and was wondering if anyone has used solid pipe in there with rubber joins?
thanks
chris.

Thanks GQ351 - where did you find a snorkel head with a neck that fits a 4" tube? All I've been able to find so far are the massive heads for big rigs with 6"+ necks or the ones from Safari with the skinny 2.5" necks.

Donaldson make the 4" heads/rams. I am fabricating mine at the mo and the 304SS 4" pipe's wall thickness is 1.6mm. even thats $65.00 a meter!
Donaldson also do the water seperator valves for the airbox and all the elbows.
good luck

Thanks. Have sent Coburg truck parts an email. I do have a Donaldson catalog, but all of their air ram snorkel heads that are listed have 6" or greater inlet diamters.

VN air intake pipe with the bends cut off will give you the straight sections

can someone tell me where you get those black silicone bends please?
looking at making a 4'' stainless snorkel for my 4b but cant find bends anywhere..
i can only find blue intercooler pipe but i want black instead of blue.
help would be appreciated thanks.
