Safari Snorkels provide your Hilux with a huge intake of clean air to the engine when it needs it the most. This kit moves the air intake to a much higher point on the vehicle and The snorkels are manufactured using a high quality cross linked polyethylene compound moulded to form a highly durable thick wall with unbelievable strength. This snorkel is suitable for both the 3.0 & 2.5 Diesel engine models (3.0 is used outside of the EU).
All Safari Charge Air Rams feature a highly effective water separator system built right into the air ram in order to remove rain water from the incoming air stream - thus ensuring safe engine operation through even the most torrential tropical storms.
An added benefit of the unique Safari Charge Air Ram is that it can be rotated to any position. This means great peace of mind for those who plan to travel in cold or high altitude conditions where heavy snow falls are anticipated. By rotating the air ram to face away from the prevailing wind/direction of motion, the air ram delivers additional protection from the choking effects of snow build-up inside the air intake.
Detailed instructions are provided in the kit and this will require drilling of the vehicle but templates are provided.
Inferior quality snorkels have popped up on the market but much cheaper than a genuine Safari Snorkel but at a reduced quality as well. Test have shown that the inferior kits cannot stand up to the engine temperatures or debris impacts like a genuine Safari Snorkel and have a higher risk of fragmenting and entering the engine.
