I haven't bought one for the D22, BUT i have bought one for a mate's new Hilux and my wife's old "95" Hilux and both were as Good as my Safari i have on my D40. The only thing was the layout's were a little off, i just placed them over the snorkel itself and re-marked the bolt holes.

too easy mate cheers for the input.

I bought one for my hilux, one for my mates shorty and one for my d22. Am satisfied with all

I fitted to my nav a safari and then 2 jeeps with these, There just not as pretty as the real Safari snorkels, I'd throw out the pipe they supply as its really crap, And the templates arnt 100%

The only real issue that I've heard of with the cheaper knock-off snorkels is the quality of the plastic and its UV stability. There have been a couple of people complain that the plastic cracks or "crazes" or discolours.

After how long and where are the cars located..FNQ or down in Tassie ?

I thought the conversation was had with NSW guys. From memory, it took about a year or so for the effect to occur and be noticed.

i just installed my snorkel, i got it from Garry at nizzbits looks great...but when I'm driving and rev it over 2800 revs just before i change gear it sucks alot of air in making a prominent sucking noise, is this normal cause I'm not sure... the snorkel has made the car quieter and abit more guttsy...

 

[Old.Tony]

Sure is normal. We call it "induction noise". Wind down the window and enjoy!

 

[HUN74A]

especially in turbo cars. this noise is medicin mate hahaha. i used to go through curvy roads in my gtir with music off and window down just to listen to the induction noise and the bov while i rip it through the corners. couldnt get enough of it.

just wondering if any of you guys have tried one of these. my main concern is fitment to the guard, i dont wanna cheap out if its going to have terrible gaps where it meets the guard.
any input would be much appreciated.
Cheers Dale
