New Airflow snorkel write up

I have just finished doing a write up on Airflow snorkel install that some maybe interested in now that they will be soon sold in the USA by DPG offroad.



Go to my how to section for all the details.

How idiot friendly is the install? Basically, can someone who knows little be able to do it....
Ps, very nice lookin!

Nice Writeup!

Easy as the first jump

Installs on the snorkels are pretty easy, just measure 4x and cut once or you are going to have an extra hole in your fender

my safari snorkel install heh heh


beer steadys the hand

GoJeep, once again, great writeup!

good work!

Again !

Any clues or comments on DPG's pricing and/or availability for this one?

Snorkel guys how does it feel like on the road? Any change in fuel economy?? I don't really need it in my area (a wee bit dry) but I'm considering it for the forced air and cold air benefits...

It feels (drives) the same

Here is the pic. of mine, but it's self made.
Did survive the crossings about 3-3,5 feet deep.

I averaged another 2mpg all around.


I love the thing.

Thanks for the comments guys.

As for the availability, Dirk has one now that they sent over for him to test but the XJ has ABS and he feels it wont clear the pump. I spoke with them here and they said they were made to clear the pump as for some reason our RHD's still have them sitting in the same spot as yours even though the master is on the opposite side. I will take some photos of exactly where our ABS pumps sit so he can decide if he will try it on that XJ. He just got pricing news this week but has to find out if it is in AUD or USD!

As for installing them, I have been involved with a couple now and it is easier than I thought. I was never going to do my own but now I would not think twice about it.

RRed Kirill, that has to be the neatest home made snorkel on a XJ I have ever seen Did you run it into the cowl and then through the firewall? I was thinking the same at one stage but we have the air intake for the cabin there on our RHD's
Have you any more info on how you ran that and pictures?

I'll take some pics over the weekend

and try to post them.
