The drain top piece is the only piece that i can remove if i want and attach any different top that i like.I also perfer it to face somewhat down so when the snow starts to fall i dont have to worry about it clogging up .

No after thoughts.Everything works great seems to feel a bit more responsive on the throtle.I average about 18 mpg on the highway i dont know if that's bad good or average.I drive 110 miles a day round trip.Have a 3 in lift and 31x10.5x15 tires if that helps

Nice snorkel, I'll have to think about that on my next cherokee build... this one is a DD and needs to be running at all times.

I like this, Ive been collecting 3" od stainless pipe and bends to make my own but wasn't sure where to start. previous owner of my jeep ripped out the std air box and put in a pod filter and cold air intake on bonnet
great for river crossings !! I guess I'll start by making an aluminium air box around the pod filter

I love this!!! Looks awesome!!! I actually just bought a snorkel, but the previous owner removed the stock airbox. Should I try to find one at a junkyard or just attach the snorkel hose directly to the throttle body? Any suggestions??

If you can get one at the junk yard you should i like using the factory airbox and having a filter in it.Just remember to plug all the holes on the box.

Hey stupid question probably but in one of your first few posts you said you sealed the air box shut? How would you be able to change filters or check snorkels keeping you dry? I want to do this mod but didn't know exactly what you mean there. Also you how did it look from drilling on the inside and side of fender? That space is hollow? tube just goes right thru there?
