Hi all,I'm in need of a snorkle on my lux,but my problem is I have an exo,so 'safari' or the like is out of the question.Also my main problem is I don't want to obscure too much of the driver vision of the passenger side.Custom one seems to be the way to go,but anyones ideas would be TOPS ;) :idea:

well i put a custom snorkle on my car, it wasnt nearly as hard as i thought it would be,it cost round $170ish


there are a few choises

-one piece steel
-custom plastic one with rubber elbow bends


PROs, and cons

-the one piece would be easier to keep water tight. harder to make/measure, looks good in stainless steel


-the plastic one is easier to make, quicker and is much cheaper, in some cases isnt as water tight


i made a plastic one.

You could run it through the firewall into the dash... :lol:
Have some mad induction noise in the cab :armsup:

Why not mod your exo cage and run the snorkel through the exo cage, maybe enlarge that section of cage.

Just an idea ?

exactly :cool: its fine under the dash as long as u dont do really deep crossings and its also safer to run a k&n or high flow filter as not as much exposure to dust or water etc.

Hypolux (hypozook) had a flexible tube that ran under the cab and back behind the cab upwards. Might be woth a look, though then it is open to damage under the vehicle.
