hey, i haven't done much with my MU lately, been busy with prep for an interstate move. when i get over west i'll be cutting down to one car and spending a bit more time on the Isuzu. so i've basically been brainstorming (daydreaming) on what i'm gonna upgrade (fix) first. last upgrade i made was the HungryJacks free upgrade sticker :lol:

anyway, i found this link to some pictures of snorkels from around the world to give you all some ideas. I'm a fan of the straight thru design, no visible bends, neat and tidy. tho i'd have to move my power aerial to the otherside.

the straighter the better, most manufactured snorkels have very sharp 90 degree bends where the pipe goes through the guards which is very bad, but smooth flowing elbows are fine.
Oh how i miss my mu, the lux is just not the same :(
