Tools: As Required
Cost: About $60 (Cheap!)
Additional Cost: +$2k (Not so cheap!)
Time: Weekend Project
Difficulty: 3 / 4 - Messing up will really hurt your wallet, but it’s not rocket science!
Objectives:
1. Deliver unrestricted, dry, filtered air to the Engine throttle body
2. To be rugged enough to survive an impact and extreme weather conditions
3. To be Aesthetic pleasing in appearance
Some Background. I’m not a daily mudder, in fact hate mud, but I’ve come close to testing the limits of the current intake system, and it only takes 2 Tsp of water to destroy an engine. Also, a cold air system would be nice to have, and I needed to install the welder too. Snorkel was the solution. I disliked how Chrysler installed a plastic maze of intake (Fig 1) , it took up allot of under-hood space! Additionally, and every aftermarket snorkel reused the original intake system. So I went the direction of building my own system after weeks of research.
