Noisy snorkel

[110county]

Gday all

After some pearls of wisdom. Fitted a safari snorkel to my isuzu county and now have as much induction noise thru snorkel as I do exhaust (exhaust noise in stereo now). I have a 2 and a half inch exhaust with free flowing mufflers (if that makes any difference).

Looking for ways to quiten it down a little anyone have any suggestions or come across this before? I realise a turbo (?) would do this mmmmm.

Thanks in advance

Luke

not much you can do about the induction roar.
What type of air cleaner are you running ?
When I had a K&N, it was bloody noisy through the snorkel. After I wised up and fitted a Donaldson paper element with the plastic spinner pre-cleaner fitted to it, much quieter.
The only other thing that would quieten it down is use a Donaldson type pre-cleaner on top of the snorkel.

I noticed in the cabin that my Disco (with snorkel) was much louder than Ace's (without).

I sometimes wind the windows and turn the stereo down to hear that music. :wink:

I am running a Donaldson paper element with the plastic spinner pre-cleaner fitted to it, I replaced it when I fitted the snorkel.

Now theres an idea, can't hear the stereo anyway.

Thanks for the advice so far, anyone else?

Try spinning it either 180*, or 90* so the ram is facing the window. May help with noise dispersion? :oops:
May even be a possibility that it is trying to suck more air than the snorkel allows? Don't know how much Isuzus need.
4.2 turbo diesel nissans (modded) NEED 4'. The standard safaris / airteks dont supply enough air.
