WH Snorkel

Just a quick question to double check, are the HEMI and CRD Airflow snorkels the same?

The snorkel itself is the same.
The airbox intake blanking-plug needs to be different, but the one I got directly from Airflow (which I obviously ordered for the hemi.) came with a plug that would only work with the CRD airbox.

The CRD intake (into the airbox.) is round, but on the hemi is a tricky shape.

When I told him about it I basically got a "hmmm" response.
So I dunno if my order just got botched, or if they never designed a plug for the hemi.

The instructions I got with it had photos of the CRD.

It was easy to modify it to fit the hemi airbox though.
I just used the end of the stock cold air intake aka "mini-snorkel".

Check my write-up here (post is on the forum somewhere too, too lazy to find it atm.);

Found a photo.
This is the hemi airbox. It's the hole left after removing the stock air intake, so it just needs to be blocked.
The equivalent on the CRD airbox is just a round hole.
My kit came with a round plug (just realised that "attachment" was totally the wrong word! haha.), to block the CRD airbox hole.

So I just cut the end off the stock air intake, sikaflex'd a flat piece of scrap plastic (cut from the airbox as part of the install.) inside it, then sikaflex'd the whole plug in.

Thanks for that valuable info James. I remember you showing me that when you came over long time ago, but it's good to have these pics. Really helps. Thanks mate.

Thanks for the link too, that's very useful.

Np.
The most frustrating part was getting the studs through the holes, since the moulded-in nuts weren't straight.
Clarky (I think) had the genius idea of softening the plastic with a heat gun and straightening the studs... genius!

If I did it again I'd only use a couple of studs and sikaflex the whole thing to the panel.

Oh and you're welcome to borrow the hole saw if you don't already have one large enough.
