How have you made your home made snorkel?

As per the title!

I want to make a snorkel as no ready made one will fit my Jimny due to my cage running down the windscreen pillar that they usually run up.

I don't want it to look like poo either - so nothing is to come from B+Q - no drainpipe will adorn my Jimjam!

I measured the pipe coming off the airbox to be 70mm ED so I need 70mm ID tubing.

It needs to be tough, bearing in mind it's gonna be on the side of the truck and may rub on stuff occasionally - like trees for example - so flexible.

At the moment I have in my mind Marine Exhaust Hose from my internet searching, but I don't know how good this will be at the 90' bend from the airbox up the wing - I've never touched the stuff so don't know how well it bends etc. Anyone know?

Then I'm considering a series of P clips to attach it to the cage and maybe one on the wing and a snorkel top, obviously at the top!

Any advice would be gratefully received.

I have a hose specialist near me that I've never been to but other off-roaders I know have used, so I shall pop into them soon but would like to know what you lot have done for ideas.

I have done a search but the search button gives me 436 posts to read through for snorkels and I don't remember any recent ones!

Cheers

Don't know if this is any good?

mines stainless pipe wanted something abit different and strong im happy with the resolt

dam I just see your post above I looked for a stainless one around on the net and didn't find anything as least the lazy git wimped out of cutting and welding it

Looks good just never been overly keen on a k and n slapped on top but each to there own

That will be replaced in near future just got the jimny with crap home made snorkel and no airbox so for now It will have to do sounds nice
