Dual snorkels??

[RonBacardi8]

G'day all,

Can someone tell me why some 4WDs have 2 snorkels (one on each side) is it for dual air intake or just extra cooling or ????

Cheers Ronny

it looks cool

just googled and to more it looks like they use two on some carby V8'S as air cleaner has 2 intakes..

A lot do it for Aircon. 1 for intake obviously and the other for fresh air for the Aircon on dusty road and deep water crossings!

For carby v8's as swinny said!

Yeah I see what you mean I just googled that too.

For the aircon? But that's only if taking air from the outside, I guess that would make a bit of sense, but then again why not just use the recycled air on dusty roads and heavy traffic.

So basically no real benefit for our current hilux's.

Mates got dual snorkels on a 1kz surf with big after market turbo and intercooler, made a heap of difference going from one to two performance wise just looks funny on surfs kzn185 models

I had duals on my first car, 1lt Sierra. it was a little weapon. I'm sure it was good for a couple of PSI at 100km/h haha

I had 7 snorkels on one of my other trucks, got kids everywhere now

Iv seen it on a lifted Porsche Cayenne that sorta made sense.. apparently they have twin air intakes so they run duel snorkles instead of haveing a pipe run over the top of the engine to keep air temps the same on both sides.
was a bloody nice porsche though, 3" lift on 33s, duel chrome snorkles,custom front and rear bars and sliders and front and rear winches

The person who owned that obviously had too much time and money
