  • After Scott took the Touareg for a swim in a previous off-road adventure, we thought it would be a good idea to fabricate a set of snorkels to avoid any future issues!
    Let us know what you think of how they look and sound!
    (P.S - These will be getting powder coated black)

    Looks good 👍 , that little pipe you’re calling a water drain though is the filtered air supply to your air suspension compressor so you’ll probably need to extend that above water level & put a filter on it if you want the air compressor to survive 👍👍👍

    Really like these. Does it need to be mapped again, since the air coming in will have to travel much further down the inlet pipes? Or does that not matter?

  • @Andrew.Prentice
    @Andrew.Prentice 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the drain pipe you mention that was connected to the previous air box may be for suspension air compressor. I'm not sure the set up on yours, but that's what it's for on Audi Q7 - I takes filtered air from the air box when raising suspension.

    I watch a lot it 4x4 videos. Normally snorkels are made of plastic, but questions I have are. How do you stop rain coming back down to the air filter? Normally a snorkel has the entrance to it as a forward facing right angle. What happens to water that now drops into the inner wing?

Haven't noticed too much change on the road or highway yet, it does lean a slight bit more on sharper corners but nothing drastic. Don't feel bumps as much anymore either. It Might not make as big of a difference with your car though as you have air suspension and mine is steel spring.

    • @SheepInACart
      @SheepInACart 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'd recommend against it unless you consistently run in dry dusty conditions... the ram tops are great at getting hooked up on tree's and slurping down bugs ect to plaster your air filter.. most owners around here end up turning them backwards. Claimed impact on power is big, and while thats extremely hard to measure (as your not moving on a dyno), the actual intake pressure/temperature is dead easy to observe while driving, and doesn't look any different with ram, without ram, or even with backwards ram, so my bet is any change in power (or egt, economy ect ect) is less than your normal day to day variance, rather than something you'd feel/see just using it.
