The Snorkel

[antichrist]

I have never seen any data that represents the snorkels/raised intakes as having a performance advantage. I would think it's the opposite . . . .longer path = more resistance

Not necessarily. Fluid dynamics formulas (yes, air is a fluid) will allow you to calculate any flow losses (or gains).

any one used the a generic intake and not the G4? I found this $150 shipped and was thinking it may be worth it for that.

This is why I have a D1 for a wheeler, LOL

I don't get it...

That looks like the one from ARB.

That is the pic from their site. Cheapest I have seen them is 413. If it is any thing like the bumper should be a good buy.

And was think-writing out loud.

Guess I'm OT here, LOL

This place advertises they are just like the ARB but made of a harder plastic. I was just worried that its not snug against the window therefore more wind noise/resistance. But hey for that price it may be worth it to give a review.

I considered buying one for a while, but have had good luck in deep crossings without it. I believe the airbox is "uphill" from the exterior vent, therefore providing you a few submerged seconds.

I wasn't at the deepest part in this crossing and made it no problem. I had to cross it again on the way home too. The deepest past was over my hood.

Still love this picture!

It is awesome... Not sure I would do it again though.

no worries at all. I was just wondering what you meant about 'this is why i have a D1' Because a D1 would be better for this? Or because you wouldn't want to take a newer LR through it? I certainly admit that I would never have the balls to take my LR3 through that!
