Have you actually fixed them 100% or has bravo have any newest update on the fix?

Thank you

A few updates to add.

Bravo sent me another snorkel to try. They have been very good. This is now the 3rd snorkel. It is made from thicker material.



They wanted me to revert to using the original pipe work:


Sad to say this made an horrendous droning foghorn noise. So I did some experimenting.


Still lots of foghorn style drone, but not quite as bad.....


No hose at all, but snorkel still on the vehicle. No drone or vibrations at all. Eh, what's going on here then?


Hybrid mix of the original concertina pipe and the lower prototype pipe Bravo sent me earlier in the year. This combo was terrible with loads of vibrations, very loud intake noise and some drone. But very different to running just the concertina pipe.


So back to the prototype pipes I had been running. This setup is the best the snorkel has been yet. No vibrations of any note and no drone. Only downer is the small bit of paint the rough 3D printed hose has rubbed off on the inner bonnet edge and the fact it covers the brake reservoir cap. However, I can happily live with the snorkel in this guise. Although I will probably replace the upper 3D printed pipe with a silicon section to stop it rubbing the paint and hopefully clear the reservoir cap better.

I have fed this all back to Bravo Snorkels.

I received the upgraded silicone hose yesterday.  A bit more info!

 

I have been out twice to try it on an uphill road where it would make a racket going up if you didn't change down into 3rd gear. Glad to report that the noise has totally gone now. Up hill in 4th gear, foot to the floor on the verge of labouring the engine. All I could here was the induction with the window open. No noise or vibration.

I am very happy with Bravo's customer service.

They also sent me a complimentary upgraded head clamp.
