[PK]

Biggest trouble is -

When you have snorkel, you tend to use it.

Thanks for the votes fellow VXers!!!! KEEP IT GOING... 10 members interested in a some sort of snorkel is pretty good but I we could use more. Honesty is key so thanks to all the members who voted no.

I am ordering some test snorkels this weekend...

That is awesome... but please nobody ever do that with a VX

Qualifying my interest here in the custom snorkel, it'd have to a really good looking unit to get me to move on it. Also, do these things have an effect on cabin noise from wind roar over the piping? That'd be a consideration for me too.

I would never put something on the VX that wasn't high quality so if it looks like garbage, I won't offer it to anyone. Quality is one of my concerns because I don't have a test fit snorkel yet to judge.

Also, not sure on the cabin noise. I will try to get a finished unit first to demo so I can show it to everyone interested & go from there. This won't be one of those "buy without any details" situation. I really hope it works out...

Now that's a nice looking snorkel, i sent a message through Flickr, and i hope someone will reply me to tell us where he got that snorkel from: http://www.flickr.com/photos/150hp/5527567519

I can't post the pic but it looks like a DIY snorkel. Interesting look, two square tubes conected by some sort of flex tubing. Not too crazy about the diamond plate rubber but the design looks pretty good.

Braaus, let us know if you get some more details.

Thanks, it was showing an "X" for me. I guess I'm still out of it from drinking my sorrows away after last night's bronco game

The pic is from Dan Hatton. Anyone here?

bad luck guys, got a message from the other flickr user: "150hp said:
Sorry but this is not my ride. I just saw it in a parking lot & took this shot. Good luck..."

BTT since I REALLY want one

BTT since I REALLY want one

With around 10-15 members interested in a snorkel, I am now talking with a distributor and shooting for a $300 price tag to make everyone happy. If everything works out, I will post pics & specs of the snorkel installed on my ZU, followed by taking orders. If members are still interested, I should have no problem getting these snorkels pretty quick but everything depends on the price I can get & the size of order I can place.

Stay tuned.

I've been lurking over this thread, and I can't wait to see what the result is. Though I am reluctant to have a hole cut into my VX, I love the look and function of a snorkel. I have had my VX in some deep water (up to & over the headlights) once or twice... however, I love the fact that even law enforcement can see that the VX can get through where most others can not. A snorkel would have been a nice thing to have when it was a little deeper than it looked! I can not commit to buying one yet... $$$ (and that hole thing), but never say never!

but never say never!

Never...there, I said it...but I shouldn't have...

I had a dream last night that I ran into deep water on a flooded back road somewhere. I remember wishing I had a snorkel when the water came over the hood of the VX. Premonition?
