I'm guessing this mob:

PM201 | Mantec Raised Air Intake - Discovery 2 TD5 and V8

£192 is near as dammit to $287.

I'm sure Mantec make a very good snorkel but, really, that one is like the plain exhaust pipe type of snorkel you'll see on a 4wd Action car (or my RR Classic).

Looks like my thread is taking off nicely haha.

If people are keen, maybe we should get numbers together for a bulk buy?? Decide on mantec or safari?

Will prob help save a few dollars for us.

Southdown 4x4 make a snorkel similar to a Mantec. The main difference being the metal pipe is made of stainless steel(I heard a rumor that the Mantecs have corrosion issues).
I chose the Southdown because it looks good, won't rust....and they throw in some free stickers woohoo.


Cheers,

Jason

With the addition of a snorkel head, prebending so it fit's right out of the box, powder coating, templates for cutting the guard so you don't make a mess of it, a welded manifold to match the intake to the air box, the piping between snorkel and manifold, plastic edging for the guard cut and a reasonable guarantee that it will fit with little or minor fettling.

Otherwise it's exactly like your one Scouse. :D

IMO, the Mantec looks 'home made' so what I'm trying to say is.....if you want a home made looking snorkel then make one yourself.

Mine's home made & looks better than the Mantec - it even has a genuine Land Rover snorkel head fitted to it :).
