    Ahhh. They did sell it some time ago.

    I too have an RAI on our Disco 4 (freebie) that I'd love to seal off as well. Very interested to see how you do it. Keep us posted if you can.

    Cheers

    Vulcanise wrap the piping (or replace),
    Seal the holes in the elbow to the air box,
    Foam seal elbow to airbox,
    Seal piping to elbow at both ends,
    Seal RAI to intake (foam)

    Or replace the whole shebang with a safari snorkel, seeing as you'd be taking the whole thing apart to seal it....

    Another negative on snorkels

    While I've been sceptical about the benefit of snorkels from preventing dust intake in my D4, they do look the goods from an off perspective, and obviously from deep water crossing benefits.

    However I don't want to do deep water crossings in my 2014 D4, because I fear electronic water ingress issues.

    The thing I most dislike about the snorkel though, is that fact that it on the right hand side, and hence, obstructs vision.

    Not really noticeable after 10 minutes.

    And at all but parking speeds is totally negligible in its impacts.

    I cannot see mine from my driving position in the vehicle. Mine is completely obscured by the pillar and has never been a factor driving the vehicle. I have the Safari kit

    Changing snorkel

    Hey everyone. Looking at finding out if it would be possible to change a safari raised air intake / snorkel over to the standard Land Rover one that’s being discussed?

    Would the cut out on the body be a different shape? Would it be possible?

    Cheers,
