Does not look the same as some pictures I have seem. Anyone ever try this type?

 

[benlaud87]

I have that one

 

[Peep]

Are you happy with it? does it also install on a 2006 I5? Does it do anything to keep the filter clean or MPG?

 

[benlaud87]

It's the same as the arb snorkel as far as I can tell so as long as the arb works with the 06 then yes.


I don't really calculate my mpg but I don't think it affected anything.

Same one I got :thumbs:. There should be 2 others with it also.

How difficult is it to put on?

Can be a pain to connect the rubber hose from the snorkel to the air box. The two times I installed it, that was by far the worst part

Could someone take a photo of their engine with it connected. I have seen a few photo's but only small areas. Would like to see a overall photo, so I can see what needs to be done.

On the v8 it just goes into the air box through the fender. The engine bay wouldn't show anything. Maybe it's different on the i5.

Thanks benlaud87. Do you have a build thread? I like your mods and colour

 

[benlaud87]

No, meant to start one but I ended up getting side tracked. I'll see if I can find my old pictures and start one from the beginning

This is what you looking for.



I have a different setup but it's all the same, same.

^^ not sure what that is. On I5 with OEM air filter it mounts easy~2hr. The only thing i changed is rivets, i used screws. And sealed airbox connection.

Looks like a trumpet mute to me!

I thought it was a beer bong?

 

[Peep]

Is their a reason to have the air-raid-siren thingy with a snorkel? Does not the snorkel cool the air also?

 

[Woodtick]

Great catch, it's an intake turbo.

 

[Peep]

At the k&R site it does not show they are made for Hummers.

 

[Peep]

OK never mine.
