I know it's only early days, but has there been any feedback at all regarding performance Boxhead?
I'm interested in getting a snorkel and just trying to suss out all the options.

Cheers mate

How long does it take to flip the head around for travelling in a dusty convoy?

Looking at the mounting brackets and seals an Engineer has spent some quality time on this!

Another reason why I will go out of my way to purchase Denso or Toyota products.

Yep very true. And when fitting the template is spot on and everything fits spot on like it was meant to be there.
Done well over 20 now.

Don't suppose you can get a photo looking down the side of the vehicle to see how far the snorkel hangs out?

This looks great - do you have a part number Boxy as I'm on the verge (I think) of getting a new Hilux.

Sure does come with template.
I could not tell u the just supplied price.
We charge 150 to fit so I guess that would make it. 500 bucks just supplied.

Ok now I can see why this Snorkel is superior to the others in regards to “Flow Restriction”

Looking at all the images BH has put up you can clearly see there is much less tapering down of the pipe.

The others have a large top “Cobra Head” then a skinny pipe underneath than they open up to a very big pipe again – other words Diverging then Converging ducts – this is very bad for Airflow.

The Denso on the other hand appears to maintain its pipe work diameter and therefore should flow allot better.
