Thanks for the info but a tad confused on your setup
You have the pvc piping running from the air inlet to the left through the firewall?

 

I went to the left because the left is covered from rain, etc.... The right is exposed. Also there is more room on the passenger side to modify or seal up. Or if I wanted to extend the snorkel up a little. It would not be in my sight. Where the drivers side would.

 

Double sided tape

 

 

 

Yeah it finally went there. I dont think there is a single member supporting this idea. Not like it should matter to the OP, I guess do what you want. But this is one of the worst things I have ever seen. Lets install the ugliest contraption to go around the whole front of the Jeep and probably end up not working because a)there is no way to mount it without drilling holes b) its more restrictive then any other alternative. You dont want a hole in your fender incase the snorkel doesnt work. The only reason it wouldnt work is if it is routed like yours. The ones that go through the fender are proven to work tough so I dont know what the deal is here. Also you could put a cap over the hole later on or get a new fender for like $50 or just have a hole. All better options then that.

 

Cowl it.

Guy's with cowls - notice any improvement on gas mileage?

 

Alright, I figured it out

run it to the end of the front fender in the direction you are going. Then route it up over top of your cowl intake across the hood and then up past the roof.

This way you can use the cowl cover bolts and area to secure the snorkel.

its the only way I can figure without drilling.

OOOPs, there goes the washer fluid! So cancel that.

 

i was going to suggest duct tape, but it will leave nasty sticky residue all over your pretty fenders when the snorkel falls off, so i would recommend blue tape. leaves no residue so your fenders will still be pretty when the tape falls off.

 

here guys i have my most pics here on pages 2 through 5 and plenty of a write up to get you a nice snorkel and you can get the air rams heads from cali for 25 bucks shipped on ebay

And it members like you sir are a discouragment to this forum. This was a temporary things just to mess with until It would break. And to prove you wrong it was hooked up to my friends xj classic perfectly running and sealed to where if you put your hand over it it would kill the engine, the airbox ran straight down and there was a whole cut downwards avoiding drilling into the side. Avoid taking posts so serious and learn to have some laughs. Good day =P

 

I'm not a discouragement to this forum, just a discouragement to the whole front of an xj covered in PVC piping.
I do have a laugh, thats why it seems like I am being an ahole. Sorry for that, I didnt think you would take it so seriously man.

 

Also agreed run it into the cowl, problem solved. As far as MPG changes, I didn't notice a change one way or the other on mine but that may have more to do with my right foot and 33s with 3.07 gearing more then anything lol.

 

How did I miss this!?!?!?

 

X2!!!
