Has anyone made a snorkel out of PVC? I have do it to ATVs, but never to a car or truck. Any input on size and if this can be done?

Belto

ive seen it before,, the guy went 2.5" or 3" cant really remember but you can get creative with it,

I was thinkin 2 inch max to make it blend in better with the Jeep.

The ones that I have seen have been 2.5 or 3" aswell. May want to consider it for better airflow.

Finney A.K.A. Alien, you'd want more than 2.5" tube for airflow. That would be too restrictive, IMHO!! Later!!

Thanx for the Links, now another quik question. The shorter the snokel and less bend the better the breathing right? And do you think a 2 inch pipe will let the engine breath fine?

Belto

well the less restrictive the better same as exhaust, but I think anything smaller than the TB is bad, and anything way bigger than the TB is also bad bc it wont get more air in, only a certain amount of air can,, so ill go about 2.5 to 3", if you dont want to go the full 3 go 2.5

Thanx for the info. I was hoping on 2 inch being ok so the law wouldn't be a problem. So i have decided on waiting till I get another DD, to do this mod.

Belto

why would the law be a prob?

Kyle

Probably a good idea, IMO a PVC snorkel looks like crap.

Belto

ever consider an inside snorkel, like the ones fab for deep mud racing and stuff, that is in the regular cabin,, so if it gets water it means your really wet already..

Same as the tires sticking pass the flares. If anything sticks pass the flares to far, most cops would over look but some are dicks.

The pvc if don right does look that bad. The smaller ones don't now big ones do.

I'm going to look at my options, but for now I ain't worried about a snokel.
