Thread: Puma sealed air intake kit for Safari Snorkel

Hey Nugget, as per normal - more high quality work

I would love to just get the adaptor from the flexi tube to the air box.

I currently have the flexi tube attached directly onto the snorkel with an alloy adaptor plate and it works really well, but the join to the air box is a bit ordinary.

What have you done to seal the air box lid, IMO this one of the most vulnerable area on the whole system.

A friend has a Pootrol with a Safari snorkel, if he puts a plastic bag over the snorkel head the motor will suffocate and stall. My PUMA just hesitates for a moment and just keeps on running. I blame the seal of the air box lid.

Have you tried this type of test ? If so what results did you get ? I guess it is only way to fully test the whole system 100%.

Your thoughts

Grant.

lol - as long as the car does not try to ingest the plastic bag that's a brilliant test

I test mine by taking off the snorkel head and placing a piece of ply over the hole. Some designs may have holes in the side that need to be sealed up first?

This would be a good test for all owners to do whose snorkels were fitted by the manufacturer (ARB/TJM etc...)
