Gipsy wrote:Not that I have a v6 but from what I read, unless you plan on taking your Hilux for a swim, the diesel airbox is what many decide as opposed to a snorkel. Also, I wouldn't use a oil-air filter, there's a whole host of reasons why not. Some v6 owners have gone to the TRD air intake system with a cai (cold air intake).

As for being restrictive, I think you worrying about nothing.
I do get a little bit of induction noise but really it's only noticeable with the window down and under heavy load and even then it's not loud like a S/Steel snorkel pointing backwards at your window.

2. Have you noticed an increase or decrease in how long the air filter lasts in especially in dusty conditions?
Thanks all for your answers so far.

Don't use oil filters the oil will work its way onto the sensor and stuff things up

Thanks. Yours is the 3.4L 6th gen? I think they are a more straight through design from the snorkel to the airbox without the S-bend in the inner guard like the 7th gen. I really don't like that S-bend but as long as it keeps the water out, I guess I should just not think about it too hard!

1. Did you fit the snorkel/have it fitted? (I mean direct comparison between pre-snorkel and post-snorkel)
2. Have you noticed an increase or decrease in how long the air filter lasts in especially in dusty conditions?
3. What did you do about sealing the intake air spinner one-way valve/dirt trap?
Thanks all for your answers so far.
