Snorkel for the Runner

I have a 92 runner and I've been thinking of setting up a custom snorkel on it so I can drive through high waters with no problem when it comes up.

I was thinking of using some round pvc pipe for the the snorkel and some sort of custom tip I can make.

Has anyone done this on their runner? Any pics? Maybe some pics of a snorkel kit you installed?

Thanks

Your gonna lose some power with a snorkel. But you can drive through water thats up to your bumper just fine.

Eventually I was going to do the other things, but I was thinking the snorkel first.

I'm not 100% sure I want to put a snorkel on yet, too.

So what kind of power lose are we talking about?

You won't lose any power if you do the "deck plate mod" search it.

I can't find any threads about a snorkel for the V6.
I only can find this one for the 22re. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...-where-178089/
