Airflow Snorkel Installed

[VXorado]

The snorkel isn't a cheap modification but it's one of my favorite. The VX get way more attention now that I have the snorkel mounted... I get a new compliment almost everyday.

Here's the final price breakdown for this setup:
Snorkel+Shipping: $430.00
Apollo Sealed Air Intake: $100.00 * Thanks for the tip Jo
3" hole saw: $15
Weather Stripping: $5
Silicone/glue: $10
Total: $560 ...and about 6 hrs of your time.

Tools required:
Drill & drill bits
Heat Gun
Hole Saw
Metric Wrenches & Sockets

For water crossings, consider water proofing the fuse box & wire connections with silicone & electrical moisture seals. A spare alternator would also be smart.

No offense, but I hope you didn't cut a hole in your VX just to get attention!!

Not offended, I take the VX offroad more than most around... I got the york on board air compressor project going on now... next the winch install... next finish the SFIFS kits...

So, no the snorkel isn't just for looks. I can't wait to ford some deep water crossings, just need to figure out how to keep the TOD ECU dry.

I scared myself a couple years ago when I crossed the mud hold and it was a bit deeper than I was expecting. Just after we took this picture.





Still, I love the way the snorkel looks and I try to make all my exterior mods functional & aesthetically pleasing (to me). I mentioned it because I find it funny after everything I've done to the VX, the snorkel seems to be the eye catcher. It's true, tons of attention recently.

Researching & building projects for the VX is my favorite hobby and spend a lot of time working on them. I definitely don't mind the compliments & appreciation.


Here, I wrote this in my first snorkel thread and I'm happy with the results.

I've always wanted one (for the look too) & will definitely be pursuing it with more success than the past attempts.

Cool! That's what I want to hear!! I can't wait to see pics/video of you doing just that!
