What snorkel kits are you all using for your GX470? I see a lot of LC100 kits on ebay for less than $100. Do those fit or can you make them fit? I did a search but nothing really applies to the GX.

Thanks.
Dobison snorkel
I like that Dobinson makes a snorkel for the GX but I like that the amazon snorkel is half the price.
Sweet! I am still on the fence on getting a snorkel. It’s only $130 but do I need a snorkel? Talk me into it!
The three hydrolocked GXes last year in shallow water might help.
I did find a little bit of water in the air box the other day after driving around town in the snow... guess I will order one.
In my opinion the LenzDesign snorkel looks the best. Depending on where you wheel, a branch could catch the “other” design and pull it off the truck if thick enough. Lenz sits nicely flush with the roof.

How does the LenzDesign do in the rain, with the water coming up the windshield?
There’s a few people that installed it reporting dry air boxes while driving in heavy rain; one person deliberately spraying it with a garden hose. I wouldnt try that though.
In my mind it’s a better design since Water would have to enter, take a left so to speak and only then travel down to the air box.
But there’s plenty of other snorkels installed that fare well so I dont think there’s a problem with a specific brand, I just happen to like this more since it doesn’t look so intrusive and it would be harder for a hater to pour down a bottle of water down the pipe. I don’t have it installed yet but it’s on the list.
Could interfere with low fitting racks or wind deflectors though, and also possibly LED bar mounts so if you are mounting something like that might want to double check on this snorkel or go with a different design to accommodate your needs.
When you got your snorkel do you know if the Ram air topper has the ability to be installed facing backwards?Hi,

This was my first thought as well. It looks like it sits back far enough on the roof that a Gobi, Gamiviti, or “Prinsu type” wind deflector would not fit.
I have a Lensdesign snorkel in route to me now and will shortly have a new roof rack design going on my GX. This particular rack design is full length but the faring should land behind the snorkel inlet. We will find out soon enough.
Sure!
The snorkel head turns 360 degrees, just hold in place by a hose clamp.
You even could replace it with a cyclone pre filter.
