Alot of dust swirrels around the back of vehicles. As far as power loss? I think they actually increase power a little because of cooler air being mixed with the fuel. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Maybe someone who actually has a snorkel will chime in and help you.

Search "snorkel" in the Toyota or Mitsubishi section. The guys there have worked out all details. Many have made their own as well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Chris 96 Montero LS 24V DOHC 3.0L. 98 Montero 24v SOHC 3.5L, factory rear locker, Winter/tow package. 63 Jaguar XKE 3.8L FHC 2000 Mercedes-Benz e430 07 fj cruiser Re: snorkles [Re: cmonty72] #765695 11/21/06 07:29 PM Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 49 Colorado M milehighcowboy OP Getting the Wheeling Fever thanks chris. what have you made?
