Any one know where I can source a Snorkel for my 08 Jimny in tas?
I've seen them on a few build ups and want one as the next investment.

Think it was $420 (+ fitting of $100). Not exactly sure as I got a UHF as well - and I think that was $330. Can't find the receipt at the moment.

suzistore also sell some, but the TJM ones are much better looking.

my TJM cost around $470 plus $120 fitting, or there abouts.

i got a tjm airtec a few weeks ago, was about 430 for the snorkle and 150 to fit it. i agree with dm90 that the tjm is the best looking thats why i got it.

Just be warned...there is a loud "suction type" noise now when accelerating. Much, much louder than without a snorkel.

I have a used airtek snorkle for a jimny here. $200 plus postage. I think it has a few scratches, but no gouges. I'll get some pics if anyone is interested.

gjb is right, and mine is bloody loud, can hear it over muddies and even the radio sometimes. it sounds like some sort of japanese rice burner car, but i like it, mine makes its loudest noise at 3500rpm.

So I finally have a TJM Snorkel sitting on my back porch.

Planning to try and fit it over the weekend.

the instructions say I need a 81mm hole saw the closest ones I can get are about 75mm and 90mm

can anyone tell me if a slightly bigger hole makes a difference?

Thanks

pretty sure they make an 81mm hole saw, just need to look in a better tool shop, other wise make the hole 75 and get the die grinder out
