Yep, I'd like to see one too, never seen one from the snorkel side, just that one pic on RR's site.

Black PVC and a cone filter get the job done for a whole lot less dough ;)

The black pipe, ABS, has some advantages over PVC. It's lighter, more resistant to tempurature changes and chemicals plus it's more flexible than PVC. It's already black too. I've always wondered if a steam box like woodworkers use could be used to shape it.

I wondered if one of those plastic
welder setups from Harbor could
fuse sections together, that or have
a blow mold made to mas produce
these things, and for less than $$$

You're thinking like me. I wonder why nobody else seems to want to mass produce snorkels for the US market? The cost to manufacture can't be too much after start up.

 ???What about bending exhaust tubing to fit? It would be smooth the parts and equipment is already there and you could make different sizes 2.5" to 4.0". any one tried that yet?

Make friends with an electrician they have a heat box that thay use to shape plastic conduit for underground work it will shape ABS. or make your own with sheet metal and you BBQ.

Yes it works but you have to use abs as filler. plastic is like metal hard to mix different plastics but some will stick to others. try a small bit of it with your soldering iron or should I say someone elses soldering iron. it works.

well i think after everything started to add up when building one it might not be as cheap.  new filter if the snorkle dosn't go into factory air box, hose clamps, plastic, brackets, rubber cuplers, ect...  after you add all those charges up it wouldn't be so cheap. :-/
