    I might be interested as well. Just kinda skeptical since I've read things about them not sealing up well on the joints of the tubing.

    Not trying to rain on the OP's parade, but you should really look in to another snorkel other than this POS. The pillar bracket is complete garbage, the neck has 2 holes for bolts but the bracket that was provided in my kit only had 1 sketchy hole for a bolt to pass through. The screws that you screw in to the pillar also strip very easily, I stripped both of mine in the pillar and ended up filling the holes with silicone and not even using the bracket.

    With any tube air system, a simple caulking of black silicone on the joints sealed everything up for me.

    this is what I was thinking. It's just an air duct.

    @Shmellmopwho

    Honestly I was so close to just going to Home Depot and buying black PVC But I wanted something that was a engineered a little better. I am happy with my snorkel. It is not loud at all either. Last night I had my girlfriend rev the engine (in neutral) to 7 RPMS and I dangled a piece of cardboard in front of the snorkel and it sucked it tight against the head. Very Strong Circulation system if installed right.

    Personally I had never installed a system like this, but I managed to do it and seal everything up properly.

    Not sure why you quoted me, your statement has nothing to do with what I said.

    Hopefully you have better luck than I did. I sold them for a while on here, and have one and am happy with it's performance, but I'll be switching to the ARB when it comes out soon. The owner isn't full time, he's super nice but hard to get a hold of and the stock is really off and on. Had a customers money for 6 months at one point before I finally got my hands on one for him, and that was after another of my customers who I told we were out of stock got one for himself direct. Big pain in the butt. Nothing but good things to say about the product and the owner though, just not the easiest company to work with.

    It's a badass looking snorkel and the info on air flows website is great. I've just not heard the greatest things from some people about the quality of the pieces and stuff. I think I like the look a smidgen better of the new ARB one that is supposed to be coming out soon so I might go with that one. Still haven't made up my mind yet. That's cool to hear that yours is working great for you!

    Hey benbacher I was one of your customers and I think you did a great job on getting them I got mine in a week and as a matter of fact I called them direct and purchased a different air ram and it got here in a week. I bought it off of the fact that they were made to fit our trucks and they do very nicely, I think they look the best out of all of them I took a peek at the Safari and it looks just as big but runs much longer along the fender. I like the look of the Airflow but I'm not knocking any of them. Anyway thanks for getting them when you did your efforts were not all for the worest.

    I finally found my custom pillar bracket. Maybe I'll install it one of these days.

    Well that's great to hear man, thanks for the kind words. I try really hard to operate that way with my customers so when a third party makes it difficult to deliver, I've got no choice but to cut ties as it's ultimately my responsibility to provide a high level of service. This one was a bummer because I really like'd their product.
