No. I plumbed it up today but I was drinking. Imagine the exhaust pipe running to right where the factory 3" opening is in the inner fender well. Then I ran shop vac hose from the pipe to the horn on the air box after cutting (the airbox horn) it further up the throat so it was larger. Both sides of the shop vac are fixed with rtv, hose clamps and duct tape. Super water tight hopefully

I think the snorkel looks fine, but the fender is another story, but that is my opinion.
Your truck, do what you like.
If you want to set it on fire and roll it down a hill go for it.

I have seen them made with black PVC pipe too.

Yeah the fender I regret not cutting in a round pattern in one piece as opposed to the old vacuum hose for cruise control I repurposed. I'm going out this weekend, and don't INTEND to rool it down a hill or set it on fire but we'll see

No worries. Not for everyone.
