Outer Limits 4x4 Board

HI GUYS IM IN THE PROSES OF MAKING A SNORKEL FOR MY 4 RUNNER AND I HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF PEOPLE MAKING THEM BUT I CANT FIND OUT ANY INFO ON WHERE TO BUY THE BLACK RUBBER BENDS,IVE FOUND BLUE ONES BUT I CANT FIND BLACK ONES,CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE I CAN GET THEM OR WAT COMPANYS SELL THEM AND I ALSO NEED THE RUBBER SEAL THAT GO'S AROUND THE PIPE WHERE IT GOES THROUGH THE GUARD,ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT,THANKS

Why use the black rubber bends they look ghay as
Get it mandrel bent

you will have to go to one of your local truck supply shops like truckline and so on

IS IT MUCH DEARER TO GET IT MANDREL BENT?I THOUGHT RUBBER WERE CHEAPER AND I THINK THEY LOOK OK BUT EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION I GUESS

Not much dearer

Take your caps lock of to I cant read dem biggin words ,When you sayd dem lik dat

For where the snorkel goes through the gaurd you can just use some fuel or similar hose and slice it striight down the midlle.

Think it cost me $150 for the whole thing

thanks for the feedback guys,wats the normal pipe size everyone is using?i am also gunna paint it black wen its finished so is it worth going stainless or should i just go steel?

Exhaust places sell a coated steel cant remeber what it was called but it dosent rust,If your painting forget stainless
I used a eatch paint which sticks to tough surfaces.
I have a modified 2lt and run 2 -1/2inch pipe,because its not forward facing I put a colder thermostate in because the temp increased a bit

go 4 inch, everything else looks stupid in my opinion, 3 inch always looks just too small.

i used aluminised steel on my old patrol, 2 metres cost less than $100 from memory, i used black rubber bends (45* was $35, 90* was $30 i think) used some good quality stainless hose clamps and got pinch weld from clark rubber for around the panel where the snorkel goes through which cost 3 dollars.

i got a quote for mandrel bent stainless and pre fab bends in stainless and both were around $450/$500

sweet thanks guys,im guessing most exhaust shops should be opening tomorrow so ill go get some prices and see how i go,im thinking 3 1/2 or 4" mandrel bent,thanks again

chunderlisous-wat is pinch weld ive never heard of it before?

QLD Desiel spares are the best place to go for rubber bends and quality hose clamps to suit. They will also be able to sell you a length of 3" or 4" tube you need.

thanks bumblebee but does anyone know any where in newcastle,sydney or the central coast to get these bends from?

1 really good reson to use rubber bends.

when you rub your snorkel up agains a tree you only have to replace the part that got squashed not the whole lot.
