Thread: Anyone out there tried the Southdown snorkel?

just make your own with stainless pipe and silicone or rubber bends people have done it on here already...type in snorkel and see what comes up

l tried to buy the base and the head a few months back but they would sell it out of a kit ...the pipe we could source a lot cheaper here.....go the mantec IMHO

cheers

Your confidence in me is inspiring, I once tried to make a shelf, never again.

If you want something grown, I'm your man, but when it comes to measuring and cutting it is usually cheeper for me to pay someone to do it than it is to pay for them to fix my mistake.

mate they are **** easy to make and install yourself if ya make one out of stainless. better air flow and alot stronger. check out mine on jokers disco under members rides just put some pics up of my D1.

cheers simon

Then I came across this,

Southdown 4 x 4 Raised Air intakes, Snorkels

I like the look and the design is simple enough, I reckon even I could fit it....

Does anyone out there have one or have you seen one fitted?

I had this on on my D1 first, that went to a new home so I sold it to a friend with a TD5, we customised it black, and fitted it today

We think it looks pretty good!!!

Wow, that looks great. That was exactly what I was going to do.

Do you have any photos of the engine bay?

Could you PM me the external diamiter, distance to bend and over all length of the pipe?

I'm finding Southdown a pain in the bum to deal with, they never answer the phone and take so long to reply to emails it untrue. Which I find a bit odd as I'd like to give them some of my money.
