It's also been suggested to me 3" ss exhaust pipe will work and is cheaper. And I don't think you'll need six metres of straight , maybe 1.5. So maybe $200 in SS? I'd also be using quality rubber inside the guard. Inlet design is also a small problem for me with a custom snorkel. Some pics below.

I've been thinking about this for a while as well. You may have noticed I've recently aquired a plastic snorkel but I'm still undecided about fitting. Flaw 1. 4" seems the ideal and with a bit of shopping around it's all easily available. I haven't seen a custom snorkel yet that follows the body line correctly. There is always a larger gap at the bottom of the windscreen pillar, yuk. I'm still thinking of making a pvc mockup but the final product would be stainless and fully welded (no plastic joiners used externally). I've got no idea on costs. Flaw 2. I'm in a GU but I'm not sure why you couldn't fit a GQ the same (entry behind wheel, not in front) unless there is some obstruction behind the LH guard that prevents this. I don't much like the look of any snorkel that runs past the front wheel on the outside of the body. Agree about the rubber and clamps. Flaw 3. Yeah ... why not. Perhaps the prefilter can be moved? Rain. I'll have my inlet facing back and down. I just can't see "ram" air being of benefit below 100kph and a Donaldson style may be the "ducks nuts" but they look like an undesired growth. Still thinking.

3", that's a guess. I'll measure and confirm. And I intend turning the inlet to face backwards. The design is similar to the name brands I've seen and so would have similar restrictions I suspect. The custom (stainless steel, pvc) snorkels I've seen also have two right angle sections to allow connection as well. I don't see airflow being an issue for me (unless I go turbo), but, I've been wrong before.

Thanks shanfab. By 3 piece do you mean "Safety Shackle" like these? I like them and have updated my OP.

When it rains, it pours. Good news. Make sure you buy some new toys.

Perhaps the opposite ... GQB might be reading between the lines. Useful when trying to kickstart a forum.

Thanks heyhey. Good info.

Washed the dust and cowsh!t off so we look good for our trip tomorrow.

so Tonka ... where's the pic?

I stopped identifying myself when receiving calls years ago. Rude b@stards! "hello", "Is Mr. twisty there?", "who's calling please", "i'm calling for Mr. twisty", "I know, who are you?", "I will identify myself to Mr twisty, is he there?", "you called a private number, who are you?", and so on. Entertainment for a short time only. oh ... and I had one of those scam calls telling me they could fix my windowzz operating system. Now that was fun! Had them on the phone for half an hour pretending to do all they asked. Pretended something went wrong and had a "supervisor" call back to "fix" the "problem". Another 15 minutes of fun before they realised what I was doing. "click". ahh ... memories.

pad?

Na ... Ray wouldn't steer us wrong. No bollocks!
