i used a radiator hose from a bulldozer to join the snorkel to the airbox.

3" looks good, and it makes buying snorkle heads a little easier too. |

i want the top to curve back, like the comp trucks so snorkel heads dont bother me. i also want the outer part of the snorkel to be all steel, no silcone joiners, just need to figure out how to meet the pipe to the aircleaner, can you buy a reducer from 3" to what ever diameter the fitting on the aircleaner is |

I used 3" aluminium pipe with rubber bends I got from a truck bits store. The pipe was free from a local aluminium suppliers offcuts bin which they let me have a look through. I used s 3 to 2" reducer to connect up to the airbox. |

This is what I did. Took a bit of farting around but came out ok. |

3 inch only looks good when you have mammoth tyres like dank |

i like that last one, it follows the lines nicely. it really needs a bend in the top so the head sits level. |

I know...the plan is to get one of those flash looking newer style heads you see getting round on the TJM kits etc. It will blend in just nicely then. |
