I think it goes inside the guard so won't add much clutter. Not 100% sure but I read that somewhere.

Price wise, well thy haven't ever given a hint to when asked. But looking at the other snorkels they sell for other models made by terrafirma I'd be expecting just over US$400 plus shipping which probably won't be cheap from US due to the size. But this is purely speculation and likely quite different.

I've read somewhere that it goes inside the guard too; a little concerned about how many mm2 it'll be through there.

Guys you really need to stop worrying about size. RPM vs VE vs etc it'll be fine. I ran 4.7l at 15000rpm on 75mm through 54mm ITB's. The RR will be fine.

Not yet I'm sorry waiting on the snorkel tops to come in the rest is down and them we can move forward.

We will not and normally a snorkel reduces fuel economy.

The snorkel will be great (engine wise) but the P38's problem with water is more about keeping the BECM alive and dry at least from what I have read. Haven't had the guts to take mine for a swim as yet.

We have not relocated the BECM. I have "Water Guarded" the BECM. Unfortunately we do not have perfect water tight solution yet.

Peter.

The goal is to keep them less then $500 USD
