Any suggestions? Not going to attempt to make one, sorry Alex.

No worries here; it's not for everyone.

Frank, I would make one from some alu tube if I were you, the 'top hat' will be difficult but there are some old UK army ones around. I'm sure you guys have the expertise and far cheaper than Mantec.

If you want a 'ready made' snorkel check out the classified ads in the Land Rover Owner website.

Liked the looks of the Mantec, so made my own. If you know how to weld and have some exhaust pipe, plumbing fixtures and time...it took a few hours to make and install. Disregard duct tape, that was temporary.

This is one of the sites i've found: Southdown Raised Air Intake for Land Rover Discovery 2

Anyone know if there is a US reseller for the southdown raised air intake / terrafirma TF824?

If someone would post up pictures of a mantek and how it install, I might be able to duplicate the design. Depends on how many people were interested, too.
