ARB Snorkel

Whaz SAI?

 

secondary air injection, the intakes for those sit pretty low

 

I did not know anything about this. Is there a DIY write up? I need to get that done too.
I extended the rear differential breather tube by the way.

 

Do u really plan on submerging your truck in water that deep or is the snorkel just for looks?

 

I don't plan to do that and it's definitely not for the look. (It's butt fugly to be genuinely honest)
We are Harvey survivor, and I am getting it just to buy an extra chance if it ever comes down to that. Having said that, lift is next project.

 

I didn't do it!

 

Makes total sense. Have to stay prepared!

 

apparently, not you Harvey

I’m sure there’s a really good joke in here somewhere regarding a “she said” or something.

 

Yes, sir!
Just to share my experience a bit if you don't mind the lengthy reading.
My house was ok but the streets surrounding my neighborhood were flooded so we were trapped in for almost 4 days. The only vehicles that were getting out were those lifted Jeep with "SandLover" stickers on it. Even them, they were still cautious when crossing the high water area. My wife was 6 month pregnant and thank god we had enough water and food. Never in a million years that I saw myself owning a truck, and then there was this lifted dual/qua wheels with snorkel across the street. I saw it slowly got into the flooded area with only headlights above the water. Then that mothafaka just took off like it's nothing. I was like "Fuck GTR! I am getting that! All THAT!"

 

Big balls to tackle this one. Big, big balls. Nice work! And you're right it is futt bugly, but I can't say I blame you for doing this mod after surviving a Harvey Wallbanger like that.

 

Yes, sir. Those first drills and cuts would really get your heart beaten a bit
** expecting a "what she said" joke

 

Just seeing those pics raises my anxiety level some lol.

 

Funny you said that.
So when we first received the snorkel, my wife (who does not give a rat ass about cars), took a look at the instructions and said "16mm&12mm drill bits I get, but why does it say jig saw here?!"

 

That's too damn funny. Did she watch you do it?

 

Did you save the circle you cut out to hang up for target practice??

 

holy sheep! These are expensive!
Actually, after 2nd look, one can easily put some tubes and adapters together with fraction of the cost. This is a bit too pricy.

 

Only the first drill, she like "that looks more painful than our first drill" then walked away.

Still have it, but did not think of that! Thaz a great idea!

 

Well? Is it done? You know... pics yadda yadda

 

Not quite yet since now I am waiting on the parts for secondary air injection reroute. Sometimes next week will post the complete pix!

 

The front diff and tranny breathers are a bit low too and I plan to move mine up.
Just as you said, the SAI can be easily made. I've made a half dozen or so for friends. Gimme a DM if you'd like a comprehensive shopping list for the parts. It varies slightly but the parts generally run $100- $125. Assembly and install takes just over an hour.

 

Hey, guys, so as 831Tun is trying to help me figure out the 2ndAI for me (which I really appreciate), I have an idea that I'd like to run it by you guys. (Please see pix). I am thinking drilling the hole into the airbox base and connect the two breather filters this way. My only concern is the suction of the motor will be greater than the 2ndAI's suction which causes negative pressure where the 2ndAI never gets any air. What are your thoughts?

 

I doubt that would be an issue..I'm sure theres not that much pressure generated in the intake box, but just make sure they are sealed as well. If not, kinda defeats the purpose of the snorkel lol

 

I know right lol .
Yea, I thought that was a good spot to put them.

 

as in "why would it be a problem?" or "what would you do that?" lol

 

As in I have no idea

 

The whole snorkel this is new to me

 

Me too. This is actually for the 2nd Air Injection breather filter.
