Nice snorkel, is it custom made or can we buy one too?

Yes that's what I'm going to do. I've been messing about trying to get brass barbs of sufficient diamiter and to fit into a tapped hole in this cover. Now I think I will just weld some ~16mm ID steel tube to the center of that plat at a 45deg angle to join up with the braided drain hose.

Any chance you can post a photo of how you are going around the corner into the wheel arch? I am doing the same, see pic below (got to get it welded). I'm thinking to go around the corner and then increase from 2.5" to 3" as it goes through the mudflap.

some more pics of my mock-up in case it helps others.

I'm actually done, just waiting to get someone to TIG the dump pipe the I can stop driving around with a NA Isuzu.

Argh..car not here atm..owner is test driving it..and loving it☺

I'll see if he can send me some shots but basically we followed the std exhaust route making sure it tucked into the wheel arch and with a flange joint just at the inner guard exit point into the wheel arch....flexible joint above it

That's a good idea but at 45deg won't you have trouble with clearing the starter motor solenoid?
