please let us know what the plastic fittings used for this joint are (angle & dia is cast on the fitting)?
as far as appropiate tubing goes, there is a rigid plastic pipe (black w/yellow stripe) used ug gas main which is abt 90mm ID and 100mm od - but I doubt it would fit as high in the guard space as you have done
yeah the snorkel has made the difference in fuel consumption, cooler air and you getslight ram air and I made the intake bigger in the air box so the engine is getting air much easier. My pipe(white) is 80mm gutter down pipe from Bunnings and the corners are 80mm but are from a plumbing shop and r a different size, it was a bit loose but it still worked I used 2x 90 degree and 2x 45 degree bends I think, the black hose is a rubber type hose from Enzed it has no wire in it so it was able to form over the steel on the inner guard, it tok abit of jiggling to get right but I reaken that my snorkel alows more air through than a bought one.

Well done, I had always thought that tiny pipe at the front was too restrictive!Quote:

If you suck on a staw hard enough you can make it collapse, but if you suck on a large staw like the one you get at the movies it is harder to collapse. This is my reasoning for going as big as I can.
i think you should come down to melb for a bbq and we can make up a snorkel for my car!!
