    Do keep us posted as to the fit.

    I had a snorkel on a Land Rover and it provided a ram-air of cleaner and cooler air. On that LR, and another V8 hybrid I owned, it was recommended to run a standard/disposable air filter, and change it out religiously every 4 months, or so. A regular filter box was recommended, as well, so the larger particles and bugs can settle in the bottom. Those are easily vacuumed out at filter changes. I would say that an addition of a snorkel would add 5 hp to a factory airbox'ed VX.

    The most important fit issue is going to be the body line of the windshield pitch and flange area where it enters the fender; after that, it is just a matter of plumbing to get it to the airbox or otherwise.

    Good luck and post pics.

    It arrived. Does not look to be easily fitted on the fender, but looks good on the door side. We will try to fit it anyway. I'm currently looking through the salvage yards to find spare fender to cut & weld...
