Airflow Snorkel Installed

[Robbomaz]

Thats good info. I can't comment on how this one affects performance since I haven't completed the install but i'm eager to find out.

Another possible option to increase airflow:



From the Airflow website:
"All our current Cold Air Induction Snorkel kits are supplied with this Air Ram, which provides 3.8 times free air to the engine. However, some customers prefer a lesser performance to the benefit of a more pleasing look… So, by popular demand, we have re-released the square Air Ram. Despite its lesser free air performance (only 1.85 times), this Air Ram may be more pleasing to the eye when associated with a “squarish” vehicle. So the choice is yours, looks or performance, Airflow Vector has it all!"

Since the VX isn't square, the new style air ram could be purchased to increase air flow & change the look. I'm thinking about for it myself...

Yeah I have seen that too.They talk so much $%#t on the snorkel sites its hilarious They really should stay away from pseudo-science....3.8 times what....? And it still fits to the same tube so how does flow increase exactly?
Sorry for the rant, pet hate of mine!

Every one we have had come thru has dropped hp on the dyno when using the snorkel too but performance is not their purpose. What it WILL do is put the intake up in cleaner air, above water ingress, and (in the case of some Airflows, some Airtecs and almost NO Safaris)look cool too

If I could get my Airtec in a RH version I'd have one on each side - that'd solve the flow issue as well

Dunno if youve seen them but you can get 'socks' that go over the scoop and others that go down inside the snorkel tube as a pre-filter too.

Most folks I know here just have the sock - easy to pop on & off for washing etc

Agree the big round tip would suit the Vx better too

Looks like the seller that I got my Apollo kit from has at least 2 more for sale (in black or blue)... same price I paid plus free shipping.

Yeah yeah... show off .

We'll see who's laughing in 2-3 weeks when I get my intake... that I ordered a week before you....

The round air ram produces 3.8 more unicorns than the square one. It's science... don't question it.

I got the snorkel for off road use & looks. From what you've said about performance, I'll just add another inlet to the air intake for street use.

...and I need to get one of those socks. they're nifty .

Ahh, I didnt realize Unicorns were involved. I'll shut up
Nothing says 'I'm a deadly serious off-road type' like a snorkel sock. Add a K-Mart inclinometer to the dash for full Chuck Norris Approved hardcorenessness
