x2. Function aside, the home made one looks like ... well ... shit pipe on the side of the Jeep. I choose very carefully the items I cheap out on. Have considered a snokle might be cool, but for the price I'd rather avoid deep water than put toilet pipe on my Jeep. And yes ... I can alway avoid deep water: never lead, gauge the depth by the rig in front of you, take the by-pass, and if all else fail, turn around & go back. No house plumbing for me!I'm definitely with Begster on this one.
Did you just completely copied and pasted post #6?http://www.dpgoff-road.com/site/airflow_xj_snorkels.htm
Great snorkel if you don't have ABS.

Seems we tend to not agree in threads, huh? But there's one thing we can both agree on: your XJ looks bad-ass, snorkel or not.
As for me? Well mine looks great, and I want to keep it that way. The eye of the beholder & all that ... it's a personal thing. When it's time for a snorkel, Airflow for me.
Ask anyone who has hydrolocked an engine whether the price for a snorkel was "wasted". I bought mine (200) just after replacing an engine (1400), it's cheap insurance.
if I was going to do a self made I think I'd use black ABS but use a ring heater / hot air plastic conduit bender to do the bends so at least it wouldn't have the elbows and cement showing ...
