I am a couple of weeks away for ordering my bar and spotties but also thought while the car is in at ARB or TJM (still change my mind daily on which deluxe bar) I thought I would get a Airtec snorkel installed. Is it worth it on a v6 ? I don't do a great deal of water crossings but thought for insurance it may be worth it....yes? No?

I would put a snorkel on. Not only for the odd water crossing but you're also going to draw in cooler, cleaner air
Our 6 year old and 3 year old try their hardest to make sure there is no time or money for the other baby -
Do It!
Recent convoy type trip traveling with 6 other vehicles were i had a unifilter snorkel beanie over the snorkel head.
The crud that was on the beanie surface was an eye opener.

Worth it - however you will hear more wind noise around the snorkel as you drive at highway speeds.Rob.

Have not heard a single bit of wind noise yet from the Airtec Snorkel on my 150, every now and again at idle if revving it a bit you can hear a sucking noise but only with the window down. I would do it even on a V6, insurance a a few cents saving per 100K on fuel...Originally posted by stevensr34 View Post-----------------------

I've only heard good things about the Airtec not being too visible from in the cabin and not being noisy so I'm happy with the decision to get one.2010 Kakadu with all the usual stuff.... Build up thread below

Airtec may be more streamlined - I was referring to my Safari snorkel, regarding wind noise.Rob.

Still a slight bit of noise is no real biggy. Safari have always set the benchmark and hopefully the Airtec lives up to it.Originally posted by stevensr34 View Post2010 Kakadu with all the usual stuff.... Build up thread below

Thanks for the link...I guess even a minor improvement in power and economy still makes it worth while plus the obvious water crossing benefit.Originally posted by KIMBOPRADO View Post2010 Kakadu with all the usual stuff.... Build up thread below
