Short Description: Snorkel #10 - Cutting the snorkel
|
I made the big cut in the middle of the snorkel to assess how closely I could bridge the gap in the middle. With the snorkel in two pieces, I mounted the lower section to the throttle body while holding the upper section in various orientations to the upper intake and found that the fit was quite close. These two piece will be re-glassed together once the upper and the lower pieces are mounted in place.
Additionally, I used a Dremel tool to clean out some internal buildup in the corners. After that, I re-cut the corners to further improve the fit of the filter. Since the intake ramp is sloped, my next task was to trim the top of the snorkel to match that slope, which required several small adjustments. Once that was done, I fitted the filter mounts inside the snorkel and drilled the necessary holes in anticipation of being able to drill the mounting plates.
