Yeah, and he said the OEM snorkel that came out the side of the fender was ugly, I'm not sure his solution is all that much prettier!Quote:

Seriously, if you are going to go to this effort, surely you would use some nice stainless tube.
Also cutting holes in the floor of a monocoque car isn't something I'd be comfortable with.
Now then boys and girls, can anyone say "inlet restriction"...:D Apart from being ugly and obtrusive - wouldn't want to be a back seat passenger, I wouldn't put that sort of pipe in a hot engine bay when you are relying on it to keep your engine alive.
I can see the PVC getting broken under the car and the engine inhailing a lot of crap!
how much dust and crap is going to be sucked into the car with that much air movement? I can see he doesn't care with all the mud and rubbish over the drivers door etc. But it would do all sorts of wierd things to seals / AC intakes if all the windows were up?
That's just plain nasty, and not in a good way :(Quote:

Surely, even a Yank cannot be that intellectually challenged !!!
Someone should give him a four metre snorkel and get him to run down the street breathing through it. Then he might figure it out.
He drives a jeep, of course he's that intellectually challenged :angel:
It's quite hilarious really, and his description of the snorkel that "comes out of the fender and up here" *gestures towards A pillar* is pretty much a description of every vehicle snorkel available.
The guys an idiot, but if he keeps using this design it's unlikely he'll be around much longer to bother us :twisted: :angel: :wasntme:
