ADVICE Required - LR4 SV3C 2016 HSE LUX - Snorkel

Question regarding the OEM/Aftermarket SNORKELS.

I have a Land Rover Discovery4 / LR4 2016 SC3V HSE LUX. This is the 3 Litre petrol supercharged version that came out between 2014 and EOS 2016. Land Rover OEM 2015/16 snorkel is not compatible for this engine and the V8 Petrol version is also not compatible.
Has anyone bastardised a OEM or any other snorkel to fit this engine? Or know of anyone who has?
I have contacted ARB to see if theirs fits but I think this is going to be an anomaly.

Thanks in advance

Is the snorkel for form or function. The Lr3 snorkel will physically fit the body but the duct work through the body to the airbox isn’t the same nor is it a sealed system(both models Lr3/lr4).

I was looking for it to function as I’m turning the LR4 into a overlander
thanks for the reply

the client wanted the snorkel for looks. I had an idea on how to make it 100% functional but the plumbing in the frame of the vehicle isn’t sealed(at least this lr4 wasn’t). If it were sealed, you would have to extend the MAF sensor harness the snorkel side and cap the inlet to the intake(so that it breathes from the snorkel side). Or just run a snorkel on both sides but they don’t make a mirror snorkel for the opposing side.
