you put snorkel in the search area plus search in Suzuki section and 6 pages come back with results. Many have snorkel in the title, how could you not get it to work?

Mines pretty much the same as ausyota's but mine go's in front of the sierra badge and some pipe inside takes it into the air intake!

Cause i have got a 1.6 mpfi now, airbox is on pass side.

I am looking at buying some of the 3" rubber bends and then using straight mild or stainless between them.

Either this or get a 3" exhaust tube bent one.

Heres some pics guys!

Thanks heaps to smiley_smoke for helping me get the pics in working order :oops: !

Mines pretty simple is held to the body usung the areil brackets. Then the pipe just go's down over the guard in to the air box.

I took of that thing for the throtal or what ever and it IS shut of with the cap from a milk bottel and siliconed in!


The guy that gave it to me did it a long time ago and is apparently exaust pipe covered with fibre glass. I don't know how he made the top bit though!

ENJOY AND GET SOME IDEAS!

to add to this thread and avoid a useless one.... I just bought 1.5m of 3 inch mild steel and a 180 degree (half dougnut).
I like the idea of going from near the back of the fender as i will do a virtual lift in the future...
Want some advice on going through the guard with three inch and attaching it to the flexy pipe with Is 2.5????
how much did this cost you?
