90 degree bend from guard to outside, turn 90 degrees and make a 70 degree bend to follow up the window, then a 20 degree bend so the head sits upright... pretty easy - although i find the pipe snorkels to be hideous... just my opinion though =)

If you don't like/can't weld you could always do mandrel bends with rubber slip joints  This is my snorkel anyways, some ideas perhaps
It is 3 inch exhaust with mandrel bends(dont like the pipe benders at exhaust places  ) powder coated. 90 degree bend from 3 inch down to 2 1/2 i think for the air box. Sorry about the picture quality, but you get the idea. I just wanted something different and follow the body lines. Airtec snork head to follow to finish it off. I didn't fabricate this either  Compliments to Mr.Fat
