Snorkel

Without a doubt, Safari

Cheers

I have always had Safari, only had 2 snorkels though. One I put on my old ute was new-old stock, so had been sitting on a shelf for years and I got it for a song. The other was brand new, I had to wait a few weeks for it to be manufactured, but it was still under $500 (yes, admittedly a fair bit for a plastic pipe) and I installed it myself. My experience with the Safari's is that you pay a bit more, but the installation template is spot on, the plastic is well UV stabilised and the fit and finish is good quality.

For the past few weeks I had a work ute that had a Ironman snorkel fitted. It appeared to be quite well made, the finish might not have been quite the Safari standard, but not far off and it wasn't ugly by any stretch. I've no idea how it all fitted up under the bonnet as I didn't explore that far and I have no idea how good the template and instructions were.

They come with a 3 year warranty and after seeing input from Ironman 4x4 on other forums they appear to be more than happy to stand behind their product.

Today I was quoted $550 for a custom made 3" Stainless Steel snorkel from Raslarr in Melbourne.
Only drawback is that they want the vehicle in the shop for exact measurements...

Raslar have a very good reputation for the 4x4 bits they make.

Johno,

Which ever snorkel you go for, make for its fitted properly (sealed). Research ram head designs, some let water in when raining. Also on ram heads, check the shape, if you need cover ram with a oil filled unifilter to reduce dust, some ram head designs can't be fitted with this filter.
