    Anyone from Canada buy this snorkel yet? eBay doesn’t ship to my address apparently!

    Take your time lining it up and don't go over the edges. I also put masking tape on first then the template over that. Mask all the edges to make sure the paper doesn't move or rip once you start cutting. Use a step bit to drill the holes and a hole saw for cutting metal. Also make sure your drill is fully powered.

    I was thinking that as well but I didn't want to drill in the wrong area from movement or have the screw slip on me while I was drilling since its at a slop and not a flat surface. I was also thinking of using the push rivets so I made the holes first.

    To any of you that have installed this, do you also run an SC? Performance change? If no one, guess I'll be the Guinea pig on this one.......

    I updated the first post with instructions and some photos. Done on the phone so it’s not perfect.

    I have a supercharger, I'll be installing this snorkel tomorrow...will report back, lol.

    I did some research on it and I don't know if anyone with a supercharger has installed this snorkel specifically, but there are a lot of people that have done it with the Safari snorkel and they're nearly identical. Haven't read of any issues there.

    Initially, it told me it would take over a month to get here...then a couple days later I got a tracking number saying it would arrive here less than a week after I ordered it. I think I ended up getting it in 6 days and it says on the packaging that it came from Malaysia, crazy.

    Yeah I submitted black when I first joined TW but quickly learned it isn't worth the time or effort.

    Anyway, picked up a couple things from Harbor Freight tonight...ready for surgery/install tomorrow I hope.

    Wish they had a single 3.5" hole saw but only had one with this kit...at $15 though not a bad deal

    Soo I appear to be missing the OEM air intake hose that connects to the air intake box inside the fender...

    Nevermind I figured out what the names are...missing the intake duct and the air duct. Fuck me...lol. That's odd.

    Can't get them from Toyota Parts dept. until Tuesday due to Veteran's Day.

    Any one else run into this? Wondering why the hell this is missing...
