Looks like a good way to drown your
engine in a water crossing  ;D

I've installed the safari snorkel to mine.

Install is easy if you take your time and follow the instructions, it comes with a template to stick on your fender that has all the necessary holes marked on it so it's just drill and bolt on really.

I found the hose under the fender that joins the snorkel to the original air intake a bit short in th over lap so I replaced mine with a longer bit of good quality rubber hose, other than that the kit has all you need in it.

I went to a bit more effort than most to seal mine properly  seems it spends alot of time in rivers, instead of using silicone I used a 3m product called scotch weld
DP 8005 which is more like a cement that will bond rubber to LDP (what the snorkels made of) . I did silicone it first then  tested it in the river but still found water to be getting in some where with the silicone that when I took it off and 3m'd it all up  ;D.

Don't for get to seal any drain holes in your air box etc  I put a small tap in mine so I could open it and check if any water is getting in and drain any rain water that might find it's way in.

I only fitted mine  for the fact that I play in water alot and was  not  looking for the ram air effect to increase HP which I haven't noticed any way  ::) so I'd say if you after extra HP you won't find it with a snorkel.

You betcha Heather!  Can you bring a camcorder this year?  And this year, YOU can drive, right?  We'll still take the Gnewt if you want, but I KNOW you can do it!

I have an ARB snorkel also.  Real easy to install.  Looks good and for the money, it's paid for its self!!!

It just depends on what you want and have.  The ARB looks good but the PVC one's are cheep and if its a trail bomer I'd go that way.

I can't find the instructions that came with mine but from memory the hole is around 80 mm's. I used a hole saw to do mine. Remember to take your time aligning the template or you'll have a chet fight trying to make things fit.
