Ok, don’t try this at home, there, that is my warning. I have not fully tested this to see how hot the PVC can get before melting but I can tell you that I have had a PVC snorkel in my other Jeep for years and never had a problem. For this one I will have to wait until summer and I’ll let you know how it goes. If you are concerned about using PVC then you can find all of these same parts made out of Silicone and Aluminum on this website: http://www.siliconeintakes.com/ . Be prepared to spend quite a bit more however. As for my version, It’s cheap just like my middle name. If you want to try it, all the parts I used are listed below… but don’t try it!!!!

Some parts are optional, don’t be afraid to experiment. Obviously the easiest way to make this would have been to put the cone filter directly into the mushroom cap which would work great but would require the cap to stick out about 8″ above or below the hood. If that is ok with you then you could save some money… For me It wasn’t an option below the hood and looked ridiculous sticking above the hood that far. Also, keep in mind that Spectre makes a kit similar to this (without the snorkel part) for $150. So another option would be to buy the Spectre kit then modify it to suit your needs.
