$300+ seems a little steep for a plastic tube that looks cool. Anybody made their own? Would love to see some pics.
Homemade snorkels anybody? (1 Viewer)

sure.........all i had to do was steal 3 backpack blowers 
fitting for a pig, id want some tight forming for the 80 unless it is a beater. Then might as well go for the lil flexible rain gutter extenders. I did see a pic somewhere of a V80 w/ the snorkle popping straight up through the hood. With proper sealing gaskets id like it. 10-11 o'clock position on the hood, upper passenger side.

Do you have any pics of how you connected this to your air box?

I imagine he simply removed the resonator and piped it directly to the big fat opening in the back of the air canister.
Hi,
Step 1- Drill the 100mm hole in the fender with a hole saw( very nerve racking, in fear of slipping
) and elongate the hole to suit bend in stainless pipeStep 2- Connect a hump hose (4in down to 3in to suit the air box) to the stainless pipe
Step 3- Conect the other end of hump hose to air box
Step 4- Clamp both ends of hose to pipe so its all water tight
Step 5- Use nutserts to hold the stainless pipe to the pillar
I hope this all helps sorry i have no photos at the moment.
Il try get a photo of under the bonnet to show the hump hose connection.
Thanks for the replys at first i was worried about the size but now i love it, and its even helped the fuel economy with the better air flow.

The hump hose is what K&N and the like use to attach their cold air intakes to the open air box right. Where would one find something like that?
I personaly havent seen the K&N ones so i couldn't say, but how mine is set up the 4in pipe lines up with the 3in air box pipe and only the hump hose is between the two, so nothing to restrict air flow.
I got the hump hose from a truck parts store, they use them all the time over here on trucks.
Clarkie, Who bent the pipes, or did you find them in that form for another vehicle?
