Safari vs airflow America snorkel

Hey so because I'm missing most of my fender liners it appears my temp water blocking fix hasn't worked and my air filter is getting wet and muddy, a snorkel has been on my list for a long time and before I was settled on the airflow America unit but now that safari has come out with a 05+ snorkel, I can't seem to find the airflow one anymore anyone have any insight on the new safari guy or where I might find the airflow one ? I was going through TRDparts4u before

 

Airflow is not out of business, just got an email sayig they're under new management and have lowered their prices.

 

Its 446 is what my email says. I'm swapping mine with the ARB hopefully soon.

 

I would go with Airflow. Airflow's is pretty sizable, but the new ARB is GIANT; too much for my taste and VERY expensive. For me, I love my SS135MODR snorkel from cruiser outfitters..



This might give you some incentive to but ARB if you like it OP: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/05-15-tacoma-snorkel-group-buy.409190/

 

Good info guys

Dear god the safar thing is huge.... @benbacher do you have a link for airflow ?

 

This kit is interesting, I imagine with the 4cyl I'll have to do some custom fuckery under the hood...

 

I do not. Dont sell them anymore.

 

It's all good, I ended up finding an airflow online and ordered it

 

I wants dibs on the take off. Gotta do some tinkering to fit on the glass fenders.

 

Ok, read everything I could find and I think I am going to pull the trigger on the ARB. They both are huge and ugly as ish, so I am going to go with the one that seems to have the least complaints about the fit and finish.

My fender wells are really opened up, and its about to be snow and desert time, so its either a box of filters or a snorkel for about the same price.

 

The fit and finish on my airflow is great, a lot of it has to do with the installer... remember that the template is just a guide. My snorkel has been in a few fights with some trees and it still kicking

 

I'd like to see an image comparison. Sry, lazy today and don't feel like scrolling through a bunch of google images. If someone could post a picture of each side by side that would be great.
