Someone needs to develop a silencer for them. Maybe an internal coating/baffle within the snorkel itself. Meredith in Brisbane have just developed a silencer for theirs, game changer.
This video sealed the deal for me, I won't be getting a snorkel, plastic ones are too ugly and the stainless ones are too noisy haha, Thanks for the video mate, good info there. Have fun modding the ranger. That's what it's all about.
Thanks mate. Glad it helped with your decision. I guess it all comes down to each persons usage - if you’re not likely to tackle water, then just know your wading limits etc and if driving dusty conditions behind other vehicles, I’m sure you’ll keep on top of your air filter maintenance etc 👍
@@Perth4WDandCamping yeah I was thinking about it and the last time I've been on a trip where the water was actually deep enough to need a snorkel was about 12 years ago in the VIC high country. I'm fairly tame these days though in my 4wding. I still have the GU patrol for if I get the urge to do dumb shit haha
You don’t normally get a snorkel for looks per say. Main reason is to stop water entering your engine during water crossing and secondly reducing dust ingress to your filter. Too many 4WD’s are mall crawlers these days.
warmest regards from Italy Florence a question about the snorkel I see many snorkels on many off-road vehicles that have the mushroom pipe turned towards the rear of the 4x4 off-road vehicle and does anyone have the mushroom pipe turned towards the front of the 4x4 off-road vehicle? (and some off-road vehicles Does the 4x4 have a cyclone mushroom like an agricultural or earthmoving machine?) Christmas 2023 from Italy Florence!)
Hi thanks for the message. You do see these type of snorkel heads on farms and places where there are particularly dusty conditions. Be interested to hear others views on front vs rear. These type of heads are more commonly used on the plastic moulded type of snorkel, rather than stainless. Cheers Mark
Looks brilliant. You would expect some extra grunt, which for most, would add to the experience. Good road test that helps to make personal choices. Great advice again from Perth 4WD and Camping.
Hi Mate. The ranger looks beautiful. I have noticed you have installed the IDrive. does it make it better on fuel? I have the Everest sport V6 and im doing 14/100. Im looking for something to to drop to fuel down. Thanks.
Thanks mate 👌 It’s been a cool process building it up and still a few things to come. 14 seems a bit high - is your Everest modified / carrying a lot of extra weight/big tyres? Ultimately a lot will depend on the type of driving you do (Eg a lot of stop/start vs hwy). Generally an idrive (EVC) Is not used to lower consumption - can have the opposite effect if you have on some of the more aggressive settings. There is an eco setting, but I wouldn’t be advocating for this as I found from stock the V6 to be a little laggy - therefore adding to this wouldn’t be ideal. I’ve found the EVC really livens it up and makes it more drivable and more control offroad. Suggest a chat to your local Ford dealer just to double check nothing else going on.
Honestly man, that induction noise is a bit too much for me. I don't mean to rain on your parade and I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I reckon that would get annoying so quickly. I think a plastic snorkels are better sounding, the metal ones have too much resonance for my liking, but the metal ones look WAY better. But that's the thing one mans annoyance is another mans delight. Still a slick looking car, all the best with it. Oddly enough the v6 has a bit of a similar rumble to the old 5 cylinders, on camera anyway.
100% - stainless wins on looks, plastic more liveable day-to-day. With window up not as noticeable - still considerably noisier than my TJM I had on the Pajero Sport
Had it done to my ford everest also with the custom airbox and all i can say is it sounds and look great but will suck the water in during heavy rain.. Had to get a new engine put in.
Sounds like a poor install. Mine has had a hole added in a bottom corner of the standard air box to allow any water to drain. Sorry to hear you had issues - that isn’t acceptable at all. I hope you got some compensation from whoever installed it
@@Perth4WDandCamping mine had a drain hole too its just that so much induction in the box the water just swirls around and gets sucked into the pod filter and had it fitted by iron man so it wasnt a backyard job. The company that made it ( from QLD ) sent me a rubber ring and said it will deflect the water lol and pretty much useless. They supply to alot of 4x4 shops
It seems the only people saying a snorkel won't increase your fuel use are those who sell them. Pretty much everyone else has in increase of at least 10%. Adding anything to the outside of your 4wd impacts fuel consumption, weather it be roof racks, bull bars, awnings, big tyres or snorkels.
@Wadeftt I haven’t noticed any increase in fuel consumption from adding a snorkel. There may be some marginal differences between forward facing (ram effect) vs rear facing. End of the day if you’re driving dusty roads, or there’s a potential of driving in deep water, a snorkel will be of benefit. Otherwise probably not necessary.
Guess lots of dusty dirt roads and water crossings. It’s a big country with just about every type of terrain possible so if you want to explore, it’s pretty much a necessity
Man been watching all your content and love all of them so far! Keep it up mate!!! Love the transformation of your next gen Ranger!! Ps. Do you have any stickers of your brand for sale? Or where can I get one please? I'm a Perth boy myself but have moved to Townsville QLD and want to rep your brand logo around here
Have a few of the old logo - happy to flick you one if you can drop me a DM to my Facebook or Instagram page. A few people have asked about merch so looking at a small range at some stage - if you have any ideas of branded items you’d be interested in purchasing (and that of anyone else checking out these comments), please feel free to drop them below 👍
Thanks Richard. Just responded to your other comment but yes awesome tyre. On the heavy side as 3 ply but makes them strong offroad and have been happy with on road (wet and dry) handling
Great video thanks for keeping these coming. There is a bit of resonance there which I don't love - not sure if it's the materials, diameter of the pipe or airflow path. May also just be air running over the edge of the pipe? 5:37 the sound of the pipe after the turbo spools down and after, there is a sort of constant whistling which doesn't change with the turbo. Could just be how stainless sounds, I don't own one so would do more research before I make the purchase. On a side note, what a great rig you've got!
Thanks for the feedback 👌 Its my first stainless snorkel so I don’t have too much to compare to, however clearly a different sound compared to the TJM moulded one I ran on my Pajero Sport. Been driving with it for a few weeks now and have become accustomed to it. Appreciate the feedback on the rig 👍
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car? We're the pro auto lighting company for nearly 20 year and we're looking to sponsor some lights to your car!
Yeah I know right! Ford cheaped out there. I added after market ones which were relatively inexpensive on my last vehicle so probably tackle that at some stage
No worries Ray. Glad the video helped in your decision. If you haven’t had a snorkel before, the moulded forward facing plastic style ones are certainly quieter
That sounds awful inside the car, I commonly drive with windows open so wouldn't choose a stainless as they all sound awful, looks amazing ?, it looks like a piece of stormwater pipe hanging out of the panel, I will stick with Safari on my V6 Ranger when it arrives.
Looks definitely subjective mate. I feel the same about the plastic ones. Agree on noise - if you like to drive with the window open, it’s probably not for you. Saying that, you’ll still notice noise from the Safari
Fuck that. That would drive me mad listening to that on a daily.
Not too noticeable with the window up

the stainless snorkel sounds great and looks awesome, yes they are a must have in dusty conditions
Takes some getting used to if you haven’t had a snorkel before but with the window up it’s much quieter. Agree the look is great 😁
You're very gracious in the face of the negative comments.
Cheers. End of the day I’m building the car for me and not others, but good to hear alternative views
That noise would drive me nuts
G’day Chris. Certainly not for everyone. I don’t mind it - and love the look 🤿
Yeah was thinking the same. Like driving with me window down all the time.
@@benabbott2994 if that’s the case maybe consider the TJM or Safari if the noise isn’t for you
OMG that sounds amazing 😮😮😮😮
I don't know which is louder, the snorkel or the disappointment in his voice?
Ha. Look it’s certainly loud. Have since become accustomed to the noise. Window up you can hear it, but a lot quieter
One extra mod that I have put on my Next Gen Ranger Sport is a Raptor bonnet 👍👍
Nice one! Feel free flick a photo via Facebook or Instagram message. Be good to see it
Noise right in your ear. If you’re thinking of wading above 800mm, make sure your windows are wound up.
Realise not for everyone mate. I’m really pleased with it. Looks 🔥
That's sounds 🔥 👌 💯 love it.
I'll do it for my sport.
Appreciate it 🤙

How many creek crossings are you doing to need a snorkel in WA?
Only need one mate to pay for itself 😉 Plus keeps the air filter a lot cleaner when following other vehicles in dusty conditions
I would love one on my MY22 Musso ❤
Do it 😁

8.9 l per 100 from 2022 Toyota Fortuner around town 8.6 l per 100 on a run pretty happy with that. Reasonable power 150 kw and 500 nm

@@huafengzhao9251 that’s a worry! Sounds like a faulty product. Yet to hear of a bad install/stainless snorkel on a next gen causing issues
Wondering what impact on your fuel economy, the note might change with a change of exhaust as well. Looking forward to the next additions, cheers 🍻
Thanks mate. No noticeable change in fuel 👍

Great looking tyres, are you happy with them?
Thanks Richard. Just responded to your other comment but yes awesome tyre. On the heavy side as 3 ply but makes them strong offroad and have been happy with on road (wet and dry) handling
Why reverse snorkel and not forward facing?
All the stainless options on the market are rear facing. I’d say main reason is the looks - some benefit with dust too compared to front facing
Hey what flares do you have fitted?
Who did they?
Cheers
They are the EGR flares. 4x4 extras in Wangara fit for me

Not for everyone. Hope the video has helped a few people determine if it’s right / or not for them 👍
It is ugly. It is unnecessary. It is noisy. It is basically an accessory that will devalue your car but hey, it's your car and your rules.
Cheers for feedback. I love it so all that matters. Won’t devalue car
Well, that's a not on!
🤷♂️
Don't notice mine on my driver's side
Do you have a stainless one too mate?
