We recently were notified that a customers vehicle that was equipped with a snorkel under extreme load had his intake tube collapse.
We did in depth testing before production, but it seems there are some instances where the tube is not structurally stiff enough.
Currently structural hoops are being made to insert inside of the tube, 2x per unit. Once they are available we will be sending a set to all of the people who have purchased the intake tube.
I’ve got the intake tube kit on my 99 D2 with an ARB copycat Aussie snorkel and I’ve tested it like crazy. I went WOT while watching my new intake tube and it wiggled a little, but never sucked in or caused any restrictions.
If it’s a Mantec snorkel it might have a different air flow, but if anyone is gonna make it right Abran is the man!
