Oberaigner probably offers one...
Although this page concentrates on the new (NCV3) models, the middle of the right margin invites T1N owners to call...

Here's motobueno's picture, and he added:
"The tubing Co. that did mine plotted it out and may still have the file.I have no idea how much they might charge for one more but I'm sure that any more than one-the price will go down."

As you all can imagine,my van draws a lot of attention.It fascinates:
me that ALL the comments about the snorkel are related to going thru deep water!!!
So here we go again
It is NOT about deep water crossing.The snorkel is used for drawing in cleaner air above the road(DIRT)surface.I was surprised myself as to how much crap the precleaner picks up just driving on paved roads.
When I explane this to the daily inquires it seems to make sense.I hope that it does the same here.

A yellow label on the pipe saying "Desert Dust Filter" will help self-educate onlookers.

I can understand where it might pay for desert or other extreme conditions.
How does the additional pressure drops of the extended pipe and pre-filter figure in to all this? Depending upon your annual mileage wouldn't more frequent OEM filter changes be just as effective and less costly? The inside of my filter outlet has remained pretty much white glove test clean when I've checked it.
Any noticeable effect on mileage given the additional wind resistance?
Interesting concept though. I believe I've seen it on some big rigs. vic

I have thought about that,But when they get close to the van and see the 4x4 badge--
It's all over
I could make up a brochure about all the upgrades to hand out,But I love talking about the van.

I understand, but does it filter out the fish when you go thru deep water?

Here's a bit more info on the picture of the underwater truck. Crazy. You know you can purchase those trucks at government auctions for around 5 grand. And no, I'm not just saying I heard that, I know it. Check it out for yourself: govliquidation.com
Here's the companion video, since we are digressing from the original post.
Enjoy!

Well I still want one. I am using the HD factory air filter and always have lots of dirt in the bottom of my air box when I change it. Is it possible that your tubing company could punch another one out? And could you check with them for cost, then the cost to ship it to Vermont 05464?
. If I find it I will be sure to post the info.

Love to snorkel.
The option Has no code it's just an accessory listed. As:'Raised air intake' (Snorkel) Cost VAT exempt for global export except the USA Listed at 990 Euro's plus freight.
Can be sourced from Frank in South Africa Australian! Never seen one, but the mines would be using them fr sure."My Guess made by a local company that specializes in 4x4 off road units.
AUS AU$ around 770 dollars.
If your wallet is fat enough to part with the Kanga's.
