Safari Snorkel System

Safari took the decision to design a snorkel system that exceeded the air flow requirements of the tough 4L-I6 Gasoline engine configuration and this was achieved through careful engineering and exhaustive testing of the SS1100-HF snorkel.

Close attention to the internal cross sectional profile and area, air velocity and flow path through each and every point along the entire length of the snorkel system ensures that the greatest air flow is achieved.

This of course applies to components that are not visible. For example in order to achieve the optimum air flow and the maximum user convenience (for other under-hood accessories), a precision cast alloy mounting duct in combination with a special cuffed hose was engineered to closely couple the snorkel body to the standard air intake assembly.

The specialized hose is specifically constructed for positive sealing at each end via the cuffs and is exceptionally tough to eliminate any possibility of hose collapse under suction - and super tough to withstand high under-hood temperatures. The result is maximum engine performance and bullet-proof durability.

Huge air flow is but one aspect of the ultimate in snorkel design. The Safari air ram is designed to perform two very important roles.

The most obvious is to funnel cool clean air into the snorkel body - but just as importantly, the Safari air ram acts as a higly efficient water separator to remove rain water from the incoming air stream - thus ensuring safe engine operation through even the most torrential tropical storms.

In addition, the detachable Safari air ram can be rotated to any position. This means great peace of mind for those who plan to travel in cold or high altitude conditions where heavy snow falls are anticipated. By rotating the air ram to face away from the prevailing wind/direction of motion, the air ram delivers additional protection from the choking effects of snow build-up inside the air intake.

The Safari Snorkel body is manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material. In addition, the substantial material wall thickness delivers huge physical strength to ensure that the snorkel breezes through the toughest off-road conditions on the planet.

The Safari Snorkel system is supplied as a complete and comprehensive system that includes every nut, bolt and bracket required for installation - right from robust zero-corrosion stainless steel studs, self-locking nyloc nuts and large diameter anodized body washers through to the tough plastic A-pillar inserts.

An accurately marked template is also provided to ensure that the installation of the snorkel body to panel work is as precise as possible and to eliminate any guess work where holes need to be drilled.
