Got an idea in my head (have had for a while) for my dual snorkel. Just wondering what you all might think.
Make something kinda like the one at the bottom of this post. (cant get it where I wanted it)
but with one coming in the front left side and the other from the right rear side. This would in effect cause a bit of a "swirl", not that I am worried about that, but more important (IMHO), would keep the two from creating pressure against one another as they enter.
I have found a good deal on three "open sitting on the shelf" but not used Safari Snorkel tops for a bill. I figure thats not bad considering the run about $90 ea from most the off road shops.
So once the filter "box" is out of the way, and I have the inlet parts, I am thinking some flex tube to get it over to the fender. Then it gets fun.
The only good place to get out of the engine compartment on my rig is right through,or MAYBE just below, the hood hinge brackets. The passenger side will run under the heater box and out, the drivers would go over the hydro-boost and out. Not as bad as it sounds, but it definitely limits me to 3".
Fabricating the elbow/fender mount transition may be a pain. It would need to fit close to the fender so it dont stick out and catch everything going down the trail. It would also need to have a smooth transition to the 3" under the hood.
Then take 3.5-4" exhaust pipe, cut a strip about 1/4 of the diameter out of it down the length and turn it around then weld it back in. That would make a "recess" that would let it sit a bit closer to the A pillar. At the top the bend and elbow to fit the "head" would have to go back to 3" so the heads fit.
SOooooo, what are you alls thoughts?
Thanks,
Jim
