    Contacted the distributor yeaterday and he told me that there was one more snorkel kit for the jimny so i decided to have my jimny installed with a snorkel today and this is how it turned out.

    Brandnew snorkel



    the mechanic taped off the surrounding areas and proceeded with cutting of the holes. sobra nakakatakot and nakakaawa tingnan hehe.



    painting of holes



    prepped fender waiting for the snorkel to be installed




    eto kinalabasan




    immediate noticeable difference was the improvement in acceleration and a low tone induction note. Sana magimprove din FC ko pero sarap apakan yun gas pedal e hehe. Install took around 2 hours. Long term ok naman sana primary concern would be rust formation sa mga butas

    Interesting read on chinese vs australian made snorkels. di ko alam kung totoo pero after reading this dun na ko sa branded. Don't Get Burnt - Low Quality Snorkel Copies

    Definitely UV is a problem. You can see this in the exterior plastic panels of the cheaper Chinese cars. After spending a year or so in the sun, they get discolored.

    If you feel like it's a problem, you could always paint your snorkel with some high-temp barbecue grill spray paint.

    Tjm? Nice!

    How much was the snorkel? With the recent flooding, practical na talaga yung snorkel.

    Ah, from your post, akala ko worried ka kasi generic Chinese.

    Ok na yun. Looks great pa.

    Hello Sir,
    Ask ko lang di ba papasukin ng tubig (rain) sa snorkel since expose siya? Tks.
