Still need to come up with an inline air filter or something that will fit under the truck before the turbo, these are cool but expensive.

 

Awesome job man. Just read the whole thread. Sounds sick!

 

Some maybe snorkel parts...

 

So I got the snorkel finished up. The 3" smashed down into a 2" oval so there isn't a view obstruction out the back and it doesn't even stick out past the fender flare. Made a nice solid mount attaching it to the roof rack so the window can't get broken if it ever did hit something.

 

Very nice looking, Gonna get a lot of questions about why the intake is at the back though lol.

 

Thanks, not sure if it looks better flat black or if it was the silver body color but that's just trivial crap, it's functional. Yeah I'm sure there will be questions.

 

Hard to say what color would be better, I think it looks ok as is, It stands out more and looks more "rugged" like this.

 

True.

 

Great writeup! Absolutely love it! One thing that I would recommend would be a driveshaft hoop like the ones below though. I would hate to see all of your hard work destroyed by something as simple as a faulty u-joint! Most anyone who wheels has been through that experience before. Although in your case, it may not be as easy as letting your front driveshaft limp you off the trail. The catastrophic nature of a jumping driveshaft would likely obliterate your turbo. Just a thought! They can easily be set up with leftovers, pipe bender, heat, etc.!

 

Just read the whole thread again, so awesome! However I am really confused as to why the snorkel is on the drivers side... I'm sure your answer will make me face-palm it real hard...

 

The exhaust took up most of the room on the passenger side and I need some length and space to run a inline air filter.

 

I heard a good one today, a guy asked me if the exhaust stinks with it up there by the window...

 

Had another conversation in a grocery store parking lot today, a jeep driver this time...

Stranger: Is that a snorkel?
Me: Yup.
Stranger: For the engine or what?
Me: Yes, the engine.
Stranger: Did you rear mount the engine in that thing?
Me:

 

Should have looked at him with a straight face and said yes.

 

LOL, thats what I would have done, Mid-engined SUV FTW.

 

Wheeling, hiking trip today.

 

Rear mount engine

I've been told to my face that my snorkel is for exhaust.

Me: OK, cool thanks for letting me know

Did you ever run the Frontier?

 

I still can't figure out why it's on the driver's side... Please cure my retardation!

 

Bottom of the last page:

 

Ah thanks BMcEL, I totally missed that.

Clownmeat, does it just cross directly across the rear by the crossmember? like where the rear tire used to mount? Any completed under pics that show the whole system?
