So a few years ago I picked up a custom stainless steel snorkel from JPmark from SJC for a few hundred smakeroos. His idea was to route some plastic air tubing from where the snorkel enters the side of the fender up between the airbox and bonnet edge into the front of the airbox where the stock inlet was. I thought that there was some pretty tight bends and wasn't really happy with the flexible hose that I'd found. So I decided to make my own system.
My thoughts were to run the piping under the brake booster and then up over the rocker cover with an inline filter onto of the motor going into the throttle body. However...
I installed the snorkel onto the side of the Heep. I had a paper template from Mark, but it was a little damaged so made my own out of some MDF, no marking mistakes with it...drilled 76mm hole in the side of the car going thru multiple layers of sheet metal.
Anyway the snorkel outlet thru the wall, was substantially higher than first thought, which meant that my angles for the piping where out, bugger. And since I was looking for an alternate place to mount the winch control box, I decided to route the intake pipe around the front of the brake system. I has two 60 deg madrel bent pipes which allowed the piping to hug the path and make a perfect line towards the throttle body, bingo.
I needed to cut the aluminium piping to length, which was achieved in a nice controlled manner with a hacksaw, also had to drill and tap a hose connection into the main tube after the filter to allow for the rocker cover breather to be fed into the air-intake.
The air-filter is a cone style, with 600 cfm capacity, enough for the I6! (I have extractors, larger intake manifold from later model TJ, bored throttle body, 2.5" exhaust with a high flow stainless cat)
