Thread: Cheap D3/D4 Snorkels - how do they rate?

Agree but they should have been more upfront about who wrote it.

Don't complain when your cheap snorkel (or anything else) is not as good as a more expensive option.

Personally I would be happy fitting a cheaper one myself replacing poor bits to ensure it is waterproof. In fact I have made a removable one for the D3.

Remember, dry mix PE will suffer UV and pin hole weakness will occur.

If you park in a carport or garage this will likely take longer, but it will happen.

When these small imperfections begin, how will you know if your snorkel is breathing from other locations?

Cheap snorkels are just RAIs, nothing more and should be treated as such.

Mind you, spending cheap on protection for a $15k engine in an $75k+ vehicle is amusing
