Airflow says you cant have abs on your rig and still have a their snorkel. does anyone know why. or if it can be easily modified to fit and work with abs. or how hard it is to make it work.
 
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it's because the ABS pump/modulator assembly and the ductwork would end up doing that whole "occupying the same space in the physical plane" thing. Haven't worked on an XJ with ABS though (only ZJs) so I don't know for sure.
 
Go to Google and search "snorkel with ABS naxja"

You will get the answer you want from the many threads listed.

Naxja search engine doesn't do 3-character or less searches directly.
 
3 weeks ago from the thread Airflow snorkel on an ABS XJ

As the site says, it will not work on an XJ with ABS.

This is because the hose that goes to the airbox goes straight through the inner fender, right were the ABS solenoid is located.



Here is the hose routing on my '99 with the Airflow.

Here is the same shot of my other '99 with ABS. You notice that there is no room to route that hose.
