1. What is the Difference between Snorkel Brands on the Market?
Price and Looks.Technically ?? Zero. They are all engineered to correctly deliver air from Windscreen Height.
2. Why do Airflow Snorkels use existing inlets rather than new adaptors and fittings.
The fewer join points the better, sealing the minimum openings on an airbox reduces the risk of seepage, usually the Original Design of the air entry into the airbox has been made to maximise the air swirl. Should you change the point of air entry you will not optimise the air efficiency.
3. What is the best Design of a Snorkel?
A shape that resembles a smooth flowing tube that snakes its way from the Air Entry point to the Airbox. That shape should be a snug fit against the guard and "A" Pillar, all Airflow Snorkels adhere to this Design Principle.
Snorkels that stick out from the A Pillar will cause Tree Branches and other pieces of Debris to interfere with the body work and may cause damage to the vehicle when using it off road.
4. Does the Size of the Snorkel make any Difference?
Yes. The bigger engines found in the GU and 100 Series Range require more air than previous models. Airflow Snorkels have developed the technology for these models, and have designed a total 3.5" delivery system giving your engine more than the competitors 3" systems.
5. What Material is Airflow Snorkels made from and does the Material make any Difference?
Airflow Snorkels are made from Virgin Polyethelene Powder. Virgin powder means that it has not been used before in the Rotormouding Process. Recycled Materials can result in warpage of the Snorkel, Discolorization over time, Crazing of the surface. Therefore Airflow Snorkels have chosen the most advanced polyethelene on todays market.
6. Is the "A" Pillar Mount Strong Enough?
The "A" Pillar on any vehicle forms an integral part of the construction and strength of the vehicle itself. The Snorkel is securely fixed to the vehicle along the guard by 3 mount points, the "A" pillar is only a fixing point for the Head of the Snorkel. If you use the Pillar as a mounting point ( ie with up to 4 mount holes ) you will weaken this point in the car and it may result in cracked windscreens and cracking in the pillar itself.
7. Does the Airflow Hat have Water Separation and Drainage?
The Airflow hat has total Water Separation and Drainage, the design of the Hat is for any moisture in the air inflow to be forced to the inside surface of the hat, water slots on the hat allow the water to drain to the outside of the Snorkel Body.
