Snorkel - HELP

Post by Mark Greenhill »

Good Day All

Can someone advise me where the best place is to get a snorkel for my Patrol?

I have been quoted the following and think it is a rip off - or am I wrong?

1. TJM - fitted R 6150.00
2. Safari - Fitted R 5500.00

What about these?

Hi Mark

I know some of the forum members have these snorkels:

It seem that the 4.5 snorkels is out of stock. There should be some posts about these snorkels.

Mark, remember that as in all things it is highly likely that you get what you pay for...

There have been reports of some cheaper snorkels splitting etc.

I also recommend looking at one of the models with a rotatable/removable head, there may be situations where that comes in handy.

Hoekom is 'n snorkel nodig. :think:

Jy moet oor 300km/u doen om die lugdruk te verhoog vir die engin.

Weet nie of ek reg is nie, maar sover ek weet is die snorkel daar om skoner lug te kry weg van die stof wat die voertuig opskop???
