Snorkel and snorkel pre-filter set up questions ???

Panzer07 · Nov 5, 2014

Alright so the time to give panzer a snorkel has arrive. I'm using the rugged ridge high mount snorkel.

Inspired by one of the fellow forum member here. I can recall his name right now. Anyways I'm thinking on combining this snorkel alone with the rugged ridge pre-filter. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DSOKW26/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I guess my question here is weather you guys think this would work...in order to prevent sh!t from getting in the air bay and filter as well water. I know hunger is running a cyclone something, but I'm not quite sure what's the difference here as well I remember reading that those thing aren't a good combination with the I5.
Anyways thanks guys any input would be appreciate it. This set up would run me for less than $150 plus IMO looks better and close to stock than the ARB Or Sherpa.

Does it come with all the parts needed or do you have to buy tubes as well?

U got to buy the tubes, I was thinking on using that flexible aluminum dryer hose to connect it and make it easier since it is flexible and it can be crushed as well without braking.
However this is how other guys have done it.

I'm confused on how the hose connects to the actual snorkle, if it's square and the hose is a circle. Just silicone? Or what?

Forget that noise and just get this.

58Bisc made that because there was not a substitute for the ARB $400+ kit. I got that one and would do it all over again.

^^ I second that. Write up shows big reduction in air flow (tube squished), abr is a proven set up. I had mine on T for ~1+ years and newer had any problems.

Panzer07 · Nov 6, 2014

Alright that's true. Anyways How about for the pre-filter you guys is a good idea to prevent unwanted stuffs going in ? Or they over rated

V8 SyKlone 9001 100-275 CFM going to need a reducer down from 4" to 3.75"

I5 SyKlone 9000r 50-125 CFM however the inlet is only 3" and the safari is 3.75" so they look dumb up there.

I had called ARB on the prefilter setup. They said do not use it unless I was planning on putting it on for speeds under 30 mph. The syclone setup would be the way to go. I had a huge reduction in the amount of dust just with the snorkel. We have that crappy super fine powder dust here.

Thank you very mich. So it seems like the pre-filter would be one of those things to carry with you and put it on when conditions call for it and when off-roading which is when one is usually driving under 30 mph

Yes, but Ive been large groups and it hasnt been a issue.

derian06 · Nov 8, 2014

I still don't get, what if you sling mud/water into your snorkle? It doesn't seem like that would be such a hard thing to do?

silvrzuki77 · Nov 8, 2014

Turn it around backwards if its that crazy. I live in the desert and have no idea what this wet stuff you talk off.

Then the rear tires would shoot mud into it.

silvrzuki77 · Nov 8, 2014

Ummm no

When I go mudding it's the rear tires that throw chunks onto my roof and hood.

silvrzuki77 · Nov 8, 2014

Then leave it forward lol jeez! They make a pantyhose screen you can throw on. Good luck with your decision.

See now thats an idea haha, I just don't see how i've never heard of someone spraying mud into their snorkle.

Panzer07 · Nov 8, 2014

Put it facing inwards sideways lol. Plus getting water or mud into the snorkel is the least of my concern since diving in the mud pit or river crossing one doesn't go pass 10 mph unless u want to raised up and splash all sort of sh!t

I have not posted or linked to any of this lately but,
Well for an Alpha I think it is great. More so to help reduce dust and dirt. It also intakes cooler air. I try to avoid deep water but, ya never know.
If you know where the OEM intake is this will get your attention.

This guy here seems to think they work for his purpose, going on 75,000 miles now! ha ha

Sounds good too. Video, wait for the soft spot to come up and the throttle response.

(sorry if there is reference to older forums, it was a long time ago)

So your set up is a safari snorkle with a sy-klone head?

Hunner · Nov 9, 2014

As seen on the internet! circa 2011

With my early version under the hood intake pipe (circa 2008) similar to the even earlier I-5 intake I designed.(circa 2006) it is sealed from intake to throttle body....
