in our trucks not really. but we'll get cleaner air and thats enough for me. why i spent $150 on a good Chinese one instead of $400 for a ARB one

 

Wow @eon_blue I looked up all the other popular banana things on Urban dictionary and they're all very graphic and exceedingly gay. Who'd have known

 

so it's probably on average 10 degrees cooler. which is alot for a engine. im just guessing though on temps

 

Who knew TW had such disturbing secrets

 

Has anyone actually done any air intake temperature studies? I'm betting no difference would be found having a snorkel or not.

 

Bananas are too phallic to be taken seriously I guess

#bananalivesmatter

 

Eh not so much disturbing as enlightening

 

I think you would see even cooler then that to be honest. In my old 91 I mounted a thermometer in it with the sensor down in the driver's side fender and I'd have to be going about 45-50mph for it to not be effected by engine air temp. It would rise quite a bit and slow speeds and at idle. Which if you are doing a snorkel it's for offroading and slow speed/ dusty stuff. I think they have their uses.

 

I bet you're right, at least on a 4cyl. Shit gets hot running over the exhaust side. Meth is the only reason things stay sane with the SC

 

i can do one by maf reading with my ultra gauge if you want

 

Im sure there is some studies but nothing really worth reading

@what road you should take before and after temps

 

i will now im interested in the temps lol

 

least its not 4chan

 

Ok. I'll check mine with no snorkel. Can someone check their temps that has a snorkel?

Our factory air boxes are already cool air intakes, so I'm betting not much difference will be seen.

As far as I can tell, the only advantage to a snorkel is to have access to cleaner, less dusty air. Even that would be marginal at best.

 

i'll do before and after temps and record outside temps as well.

 

Just seems a shame to cut holes in a perfectly good fender for such little gain. Plus they don't give those things away.

 

You need 10 samples from before and after and average it for better data

 

Yes

 

But he wants to complete his mall crawler look

 

I don't know, there's not much left that's perfectly good on my truck anymore but that is my only clean fender.
