Hey Mate top job! I fitted mine myself, nervous (you bet) but came up spot on and I'm 100% with you on the overall result "Brilliant" Heading over to Melbourne from Perth in a couple of weeks and into to Dynamotive a tune, A couple of killer wasps got away no problem the hive is full of em😁
I must admit, I got a snorkel and the induction noise is awesome, you can drive it without induction noise, but it makes you put your foot down and burn more fuel to hear it.
The snorkel looks great Steve. If the vehicle is going to be taken off road and you're doing river crossings then a snorkel is necessary, if not then I would not get one.
I see your point but the other consideration is dirt road driving a lot of stock air intakes are located in a wheel well snorkels assist with getting cleaner air up high
Hey guys this is a desperate call for help… my 2013 y62 V8 keeps overheating I’ve changed the cooling circuit and the fan clutch. Didn’t touch the radiator, water pump or thermostat and my car only runs good for about a week or two before it starts overheating again… could really use the help
I don't think I can be in the same room while someone else cut a big hole in my brand new rig. 😁 BTW, for some reason the volume of this episode is very low. I already have my laptop (& TH-cam), on max volume, but it's still low. The ads where at normal volume though.
That air box cost a pretty penny and tbh im dissapointed in the finnish even by the video which usually make things look better. Not a fan of the look but its your rig and i can appreciate it. Enjoy mate
The factory airbox still breathes through the same hole as snorkel. If anything the ducting to guard is way smaller and more restrictive than the 5 inch snorkel. I call bullshit that a PDC airbox and snorkel flows worse than factory.
I never said it flows worse then factory. I said it’s not the best solution if you’re chasing big numbers because it’s slightly more restrictive then an AFE box or just the PDC box on its own WITHOUT a snorkel. But a snorkel of ANY brand will make it more restrictive then not having one. But still better then factory.
Adding roughly 1.5m of extra intake pipe aint gonna achieve greatness is it? Its not like a OTRCAI on a LS engined commodore is it. Look at the marketed words "ram air" on motorbikes, SFA piping length wise but even still you need to be doing +200km/h to see any significant benefits HP wise
Okay I’m not sure why you couldn’t hear it. I’ve asked a few mates who do sound engineering and they said it’s all good for them. Maybe it was your device?
Absolute nonsense, yes any pipe can create a restriction but thats why you size it accordingly. And you're running a 5inch snorkel so this is either click bait or your tuning is a tool
We like PDC snorkels for the Y62 💯👌

Wouldn’t you do this before the tune?
Ideally yes.
But there was a delay in the airbox so it had to be done backwards.
Really got me thinking. Thanks for the lesson. Either way, that's good info to have. Hope I can justify my snorkel now. 😅
Thank you for sharing
🏆🤗🙏🇺🇲💪
You’re welcome
did dynomotive suggest installing a ram head and facing it forward?
They did say the forward facing snorkels are a better option then a rear facing snorkel.
A ram head flows much better than a backward facing snorkel, facing forward or backward.
Not angry, disappointed.....😂😂😂
Hahaha. Totally true haha. But I just preferred the look of the rear facing
Ram Head looks like shit and = forced rain into box ?
Steve have you done a review on those Stedi driving lights??
Not yet. I’ve filmed some of it but haven’t finished it yet.
@@Australian4x4Adventures Thank you👍
So when is the next bush trip mate, it's been a while. Looks like the 62 is ready to hit some tracks with George.
I’ve filmed 2 already and have started editing them.
They should be out very soon.
The snorkel looks great Steve. If the vehicle is going to be taken off road and you're doing river crossings then a snorkel is necessary, if not then I would not get one.
That’s pretty much my msg I think.
Only get it if you need it.

@@katew_21 Yes very good point, I had forgotten about that.

That's a tough one, I'd recommend a proper diagnosis from a mechanic.
I don't think I can be in the same room while someone else cut a big hole in my brand new rig. 😁 BTW, for some reason the volume of this episode is very low. I already have my laptop (& TH-cam), on max volume, but it's still low. The ads where at normal volume though.
It was definitely nerve racking 😂.
Yeah I think I adjusted the sound down a little too far in this one
That air box cost a pretty penny and tbh im dissapointed in the finnish even by the video which usually make things look better. Not a fan of the look but its your rig and i can appreciate it. Enjoy mate
What’s more important, A bit of cosmetics or a proper sealing airbox that stops all the dust getting in?
@@Australian4x4Adventures getting what i paid for 🤷♂️😂

@@82muli the 5 inches in diameter more than makes up for any restrictions. It's 80mm at the maf you have a 58% increase in area with a 5 inch snorkel
love to be a fly in the car when your wife is riding in that passenger seat ,me thinks she is going to slap you around good 🤣🤣🤣
Is it actually Red, looks more like burnt orange 😜 The car is getting flash now 🤠
Yeah I think the Colour grading changed it a little
How’s the sound in this vid?
@@Australian4x4Adventures sounds ok to me but im half deaf from bloody loud V8'
Mate love the vids but couldn’t hear it sorry
Okay I’m not sure why you couldn’t hear it. I’ve asked a few mates who do sound engineering and they said it’s all good for them.
Maybe it was your device?
It was pretty quiet for me too
Yeah super quiet on my phone as well. Good vid though 😁
If you ever have to replace your windscreen, be VERY careful.....that's all I'll say. I had a lot of problems.
What do you mean?
@DavidOastler if you have a snorkel, they have to take it off to replace ya windscreen. They didn't do mine properly and it leaked....A LOT!
Does it make your car faster? Its red now ahahahah
Soooooo much faster 😂

Typical. Brags about having 5 feet, but it’s only five inches when exposed😂
