Some great news for those with Mantec snorkels.
Yesterday we fitted a system to knodes85 truck which already had a Mantec fitted and all went well.

It’s a very well designed and engineered piece of kit (unlike the original LR air intake system / colander). Pretty simple install, especially when Nugget’s doing all the work!
Nugge t,
Any chance of some pics of your kit to seal the Mantec?
Discojools.
The kit fits on the inside of the guard and seals from there to the air filter box. It is the oridinal ducting which is replaced by the kit.
The Mantec is fitted on the outside of the guard and is sealed as per the Manted fitting instructions.
If you require any additional or more specific information, please drop me a line.
Cheers
Fitted the kit to my MY12 D90 with Mantec Snorkel yesterday and all is well. It now has a definite intake growl. I like it a lot. I didn't need to remove the inner guard. I managed to squeeze it, on the right angle, through the fake intake on top of the guard.
Getting a safari snorkel next week and will definately be getting this too. Hopefully so I can put them on at the same time!!
I am definitely getting better fuel economy. I would say about 10%. I have always been a little disappointed with the 2.2 fuel economy so I am very happy.
Just to let everyone know that I wll be away ripping around the outback for 3 weeks from 12 the August. If you are looking for an airbox or fairlead before then, please drop me a line and I'll make it gets away before I go.

This may seem a stupid question, but can it be fitted without removing the Mantec RAI? I have sikaflexed mine onto the body to seal it and would rather not have to remove it and clean it all up if I don't have to.
cheers
Pat.
G'day Pat,
You would need to remove the Mantec as the air box screws on using the existing holes in the guard which must be done from the snorkel side of the guard.
