I might even have considered it, but to remove the ABS pump means I'll have to replace all the hard lines in that area...if it was easier, maybe...
Gojeep said:You can leave the battery disconnected over night or discharge any power in the ECU by trying to turn on the headlights or start the engine while it is still disconnected. This forces the ECU to re-map all the values so make sure you drive your average way once re-connected. The extra air flow can be outside the range of the values you have before the change. Letting it sit at idle until the thermostat is open is said to be a good way of starting the reset as well.
Be careful with the K&N on how much oil you used as well. Too much and you restrict the airflow and too little will have you sucking dust. That is why I dont like them. Try dropping in a stock paper one and check the mileage.
he was the first company to bring them in if ya were any good an hunting down names and email addys, you could get them before dirk got 'emGojeep said:Dirk at www.dpgoffroad.com was the first to bring them into the US after I got him in touch with the company.
My ARB was $308 shipped. It's not that crazy expensive.dcXJ said:I believe the price is around $260 to $280. Certainly better pricing than the ARB snorkel.

I love it when its a big freakin secret on pricing.
Mostly just want to know if their plastic is super duper special and costs $300 plus for it or if it is more in a reasonable price of $99.95.
Sorry for the rant. I want a snorkel on both of my jeeps and molded plastic is stupid cheap to make. I don't want to use PVC piping for the ghetto fab job but at $300 plus for PLASTIC, I will do PVC and go get a locker with my left over money.
Anyone have a price? Will it work on a 90 with a HO dropped in?
Thats because you have a pre 97 XJ. It jumps up another hundred or so for 97+. And you must have gotten a deal on it then.Starscream said:My ARB was $308 shipped. It's not that crazy expensive.
Begster said:Umm, dude, not quite sure where you went, but it has a price up on the website, and its $279. Much better than $400 something (97+) you will pay for the ARB, not to mention much better routing design. (This way you won't keep ripping out your hose if you flex.)

I got mine right before the holidays ended for $260 shipped to my door. My buddy had payed about $500 for his ARB a week before, and I checked his out, there was a mess of tubing under his wheel well.
I would imagine the cost its more of the design process and how its made, (seeing as how its specially designed and molded to fit the curvature of your specific vehicle), than it being "super duper plastic". The only choices you have are Airflow or ARB if you don't want booty fab, and personally I sprung the money for it because I wanted it to look nice instead of a hack job, because I along with everyone else on the road will have to stare at it every day.

Begster said:Ya, that would be the ARB Safari Snorkel that says call for pricing. This is because it is different for the two different body styles of XJ (96 and earlier and 97-01). These two different set ups have two different prices. Also right above the "call for pricing" it says "Available for Jeep, Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Isuzu, Land Rover, Suzuki, Mitsubishi and Mazda." They have a couple different products that you could order, and they all have different pricing on them. So I would imagine that putting call was much easier than all the prices to the various snorkels ARB makes.
I know, but there are plenty of ways to get around ARB's $100 washer fluid bottle. For price - I guess you could call it a deal. I got mine from the Carolina Rock Shop. Dirk at DPG quoted me $310 shipped.Begster said:Edit:

As far as ripping out the tubing goes, you'd have to flex like mad, have no bumpstops to limit, and demolish your fender in order to take it out. If you tuck it up high (where it needs to be) and bumpstop, this should never be a problem.
With that said, I wish the Airflow had been available when I bought my ARB.
