obviously its still DIY but it would be more professional looking, plus you could get any colour

I have thought about silicone hose, but I don't know how well it will fare being stabbed at by a broken off branch of tree etc.
One idea I had was a 90' elbow in silicone coming off the airbox out of the wing to a length of stainless tube (exhaust comes in 70mm outside diameter I've found) and then another bit of silicone elbow in at 45' to go up to the cage and another bit of stainless up the cage to a snorkel top.

All along I have been thinking of black gutter drain downpipe...............you can get different elbow angles..........which you can shape and cut to your hearts content.
After all, the commercial ones look like drainpipe. :laugh: Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

I wish I had a really good solution for you Rob.
I used drainpipe for my bonnet scoop intake feeders - some snorkels really do look like the same sort of poly pipe.
It makes me think of truck exhaust stacks, the ones with the little flap up top. They are so cool on Mack trucks etc.
