The safari snorkel won't be suitable if you get an Artic Truck conversion done in the future I know its a long shot but ya never know

Cheers Andrew

Or the Airtech looks more modern (suits the modern 150) the ARB looks more 60 series land cruiser.

Still just comes back to personal preference really. My tongue was firmly in my cheek with those comments, I think they are both very good products and certainly wouldn't bag anyone for choosing one over the other. Having said that, I don't really like the look of the Airtech snorkel, even on the 150, that's why I went for the Safari, despite the fact it's dashed my hopes of having the Arctic Trucks conversion done :'(

I put in a proposition to them a few weeks back about becoming an official reseller.... Kidding! But its an idea... ?

The Safari looks more "manly", the Airtech more "feminine", that's my rationalisation anyway I think they are both very good quality and it just comes down to personal preference.

Dave.

Dave, have to agree the Safari looks more "manly" does look Thicker with a bigger end for rotation....... but I only have 120, you guys have 150, an extra 30 on me, does come down to preference as long as it gets the job done - to keep things clean

We can only wish that options like that would become available in Oz Almost anything is possible though if your bank manager is friendly enough.

My Safari on the current 120 blocks a bit of the view. Does the Airtech block much or is it better designed for vision than the Safari? I'm leaning towards the Airtech on the new 150.

I have a Safari on my Altitude & I find I have to actually look for the snorkel to see it from the drivers seat.

I put the Airtech on my 150 as I believe it looks more streamlined is lower in profile and less likely to catch stray branches.

It doesn't produce any wind noise and I can't see it when in the drivers seat.

See ya on the tracks, Richo.

Very happy with my Airtech, can't see it from the drivers seat. I have been in heavy Over grown tracks and branches left caught. No noise.

Had a Safari on my 120, Airtec on my 150. My personal opinion is the Airtec is way better looking on the 150, blends in with the sleek lines and looks neat and compact. Must agree with the dated look of the Safari and Airtec even changed shape of the head between the 120 and 150 series. Go the Airtec.

I installed Safari last week.
Looks 'manly'
Works great

I went the safari, I like the option if needed to be able to add a second filter and I like the look.

Really it comes down to personal preference and that is why we have choices for different tastes.

Quick question and I did try google first. lol..

Got the airtec installed a few days ago and very happy with it bar one little rattle/flutter type sound coming from the head when under load. I put my hand out the window to the snorkel while driving and it does have a suprising amount of vibration, but as soon as i wind down the window i can no longer hear the noise for the air. It kind of sounds like the mesh maybe rattling a little or something when max vibration is on. Anyone know or had similar?

Would a seal thats leaking cause that kind of noise?

Anyone?

[CQ_Prado Member Find all posts View Profile Close CQ_Prado]

Well i've pretty much ruled out the mesh...

Any ideas?

Sorted.. there was a 10mm nut sitting on top of the pipe that runs in the wheel arch rattling against the panel..

Guess i'll be going to see the installers tomorrow morning to return there pliers i found in the bull bar, give them the bill for adjusting the exhaust to clear the towbar and returning their nut and asking where did it come from/is it part of the snorkel kit.
