just a 22re

Ok as i said to a few of you guys and i guess got your att very quickly. Here you want a snorkel that can really take some trees and rocks but wanna only spend about 100 if that bucks?? Here you go, all wrote down and ready to go. First you need to go online and look up ebay, oh yes the black market store, look up a turbo honda intercooling pipes no matter what color or anything but heres the sizes 3in or 2.5 in dia (2.5in works the best) two straight pipes about 2 feet long, and a 45° elbow thats it about 35 bucks!! there ok go to home depot and go to the potty isle, look at the rubber connectors, get 3in to 3in or 2.5 to 2.5 easy right?? there about 3-5 bucks each. ok you need 3 of them each side of the elbow make sense right? I will tell you what the 3rd is for a little later in this little finger it out paper. ok now look at a 3in or 2.5 90 about 2-4 bucks only need one!!! and a little tiny 3in or 2.5 dia pvc pipe about 6in long 2-3 bucks there ok now stop at your autozone buy a air flow connector it bolts to your air flow thingy and makes it a 3in air filter size ok now ..........

unbolt that airbox but it aside (where you wont run it over later) and MARK the holes for your toyota air flow meter. now go drill it out on the air flow thingy you got from autozone. ok put the gasket it comes with on then the connector and bolt it on. yay, your almost done now the fun part...

unbolt that fender. see that little hole there where the wires come through right by the air box well were it use to be??? take a saws-all i know you all should have one. cut that baby open about a 4in hole should work DONT CUT THE WIRES!! ok now on to more fun.........

take that fender and someone that will hold it for you. (not someone that wont like i did trust me you get a really bad hole) now at the way back your going to cut a L shape hole. sounds funny right? i know (pics will show you everything) ok............

take that pvc pipe and put it on that connector with a 3in to 3in or 2.5 to 2.5in dia connector. now cut to fit, because all trucks are different so i wont tell you the size. ok take that rubber 90° elbow there and slap it on there. (not to hard they dont like that) don't forget the clamps! ok take that intercooler pipe straight one, and get her to fit yay looking good buddy now get the 45° elbow slap her on there with a rubber connector now it should be about ¼ of the way up your windshield right???? ok take that last straight pipe and put her to work right on top of that 45° elbow. ok take two of the hangers you got and put one in the middle of the (wow hands are hurting here) straight pipe under the fender, and one about half way up the other straight pipe on the window, screw it into the inside of the door jamb USE 1IN SCREWS!!!!! ok your almost done!!

ok bolt that thing you call a fender right back on. should fit if not, nice cut but do it again so it fits. ok get that air filter out and slap her right on top. hey hey looks like a very cool kit how much was that?? now lets see


1)ebay pipes $25-$30
2)3 3in connectors $20
3)pvc pipe $2-$3
4)90 rubber elbow $3-$4
5)hangers .99¢-$2
6)air filter $10-$300
7)air flow add $10-$15
8)1in screws $1-$3 (small box)
lets add this up here, where at 104 bucks, if you buy all the high priced stuff and a $25 air filter.

so if theres anything i missed or anything you would like to add let me know. in summer when i reinstall her ill post up the install pics on how to do this step by step with pics right on this thread!



for all you that say water is bad i say ha ha what does steam do?? clean right so a little water will clean out the inside as long as your not driving all the way under water you should be fine********************** anyways i've drove her in heavy rain like this and no problems!! but** if you wanna get even better get a 3in dryer hose the bendable metal ones, and crack your back window open by the drivers door. clamp that baby on there and suck in air from the inside of your cab, just tape up or something over that window so nothing gets in, ie water and people hope this made everyones day, oh and mine only cost me about 35 bucks to do!!!

good idea but if you dont live in cold weather you can make a home made snorkel for under 40 bucks. go to auto zone or other shop and buy about 4 feet of flex hose (the hose you use to put on your tail pipe to put the fumes outside) now take off the intake hose from your airfilter box and cut it in half, use the side that attached to the air box, get some contact cement and glue it onto the flex pipe and put it back into the air box and glue it there if you want a water tight seal. now the fun part is cutting a hole in the fender so the hose will come out at the right angle to follow the fender up to the windshield to the roof. get some 3in hose clamps, drill a small hole so you can screw it onto the truck (i used about 4). sorry about not having pics, i forgot to take pictures of it maybe i can find some to show you what i mean. now once you have the hoes clamped down take the other part of the intake hoes you cut in half and glue it to the other end of the hose pointing down so it doesn't catch the rain, and VOILA you have a 30-40 dollar snorkle.(it actually cost me less since a lot of items in mexico are cheaper)

and not one pic of the cone filter surrounded by anything to keep the water out.
...and a rusted-water-colored filter at that.
