Checking Out The New Snorkel Design At Maximus 3

Snorkels look cool and can help guide cool air into the engine. If used correctly they can even help you cross deeper bodies of water. Maximus 3 is entering the snorkel game with a stylish design that is made to complement the Jeep's natural design while being completely functional. Maximus-3.com

Impress me with 1 that fits for the ecodiesel

[@DuzBee]

Ok…. So basically a B-Grade version of the ‘Rugged Ridge’ snorkel……

[@Cornpone]

More like a good version of the rugged ridge

[@mightymikee]

I thought I was looking at diesel version.

[@675daytonarider]

I’d like something like this for my HEMI swapped JK. Need some real airflow and prefer not to cut up my hood.

[@RW7579]

The mirror flipped image in the beginning got me hopeful it was a diesel version…

[@jeepzandthings]

Where do I get one?

[@JeepSheepTV]

If it's available it would be on the Maximus-3 website

[@jeepzandthings]

@JeepSheepTV nothing on their website yet. I just tried the RR snorkel, and it's not for me. Plus, there are a million install videos of the Rugged Ridge, and I want to film something original

[@LongRangeDesertGroupX]

Can the circle pre-filter be ran oh these?

[@ortebalm09]

Is it available for JKs?

[@novanut1964]

good video, thanks!

[@harvestblades]

sucked the video cut you off. I don't know what engine is in that, but snorkels seem to be very undersized & a severe restriction thereby causing a loss in peak HP & Torque. I would love to have an engineer set me straight on this if I am wrong, but I have seen too many dyno pulls testing the restriction caused by different types of air filters, cans. Even for a 4.0L I6 if you have headers, and are trying to pull as much air through as possible it seems most snorkels are non bueno.

[@JeepSheepTV]

Sadly the only real way to "set you straight" is to test on a dyno. It would be faster and cheaper than dropping a bunch of advanced air flow calculations. If I had to guess, I would assume some benefits in the low end but a possible dip at high RPM. It really comes down to what you want, typically in a Jeep I care way more and low end torque. But my guessing can be wrong too, a dyno test would be fun.
