P500 A Simple Snorkel

[Texas_Newfie]

Hey All,

Seen a lot of great posts about custom snorkel setups. The one I made is super simple and requires very little PVC. It just extends the stock intake all the way to the roll cage and the follows the roll cage line.

All you need (excluding whatever tip you choose to put on the riser):

3 x sweep 90s (2in)
1 x 2ft of PVC (2in)
1 x fernco (1.5in to 2in)

I cut the stock intake tube after the elbow and added a fernco.



I mocked it up so that the pvc tube extended all the way to the outer roll cage. You need about ~6in (don't remember exactly) of pvc tube, followed by 3 sweep 90 elbows, then finally the riser. That's it. You can choose whatever tip setup suits your preference.



You can see the pvc exits between the rear rack ad the roll cage. I painted and vinyl wrapped it before installing. I used 2 zip ties to hold the sweep 90 combination in place to the roll cage.



To secure the top of the riser, i used a 1.25" clamp mount and zip tied the riser to the mount. You can easily just zip tie the riser to the roll cage, but I liked the angle this gave me.




Follows the roll cage up.



Final setup

Bloomin Genius he is! Going to have to try this myself. I’m also going to have to rethink my rear storage box and wondering about the rear panel...?

Nice and simple,I like it.why does everyone increase the diameter to 2" instead of keeping it at 1 1/2"?

That was way too simple, only took one Dos Equis

Can't get too much air but you can get not enough.

Trigger got it right, better to leave the stock tubing as a bottle neck rather than potentially reducing the air flow further upstream due to additional couplers, elbows and longer riser length.

What are you using at the top of the riser? (turned down piece)

built one of these today, I have a rear window that comes down too far toward the bottom. It will fit, but I'm afraid I may have vibration issues with it due to lack of clearance. Going to give it a try due to the crappy design of the original air opening. couldn't have put it in a worse spot in my opinion....
