XS Challenger
I have a 2002 XS Callenger and no one does a
Snorkel for it (No one I mean Safari, AirTek) I Was tinking of making a Custom one but am not sure ow to go about it and ow to attac it to the piller etc.
Any help anyone can give is greatly appreciated.
I live on the Sunshine Coast near
Brisbane so if anyone knows of someone in this area that makes them let me know.
Thankyou all again
Richard

Goto an exhaust place and have them bend up some Stainless exhaust, it looks awesome when done correctly. Then just wack a Safari Ram head on top your done. the hard part is the mount inside the guard.
For that you can have a piece of flat plate with hole in it the side of
snorkel pipe, with a small piece of pipe welded onto each side to use as a sleeve for the pipe from the inner guard to mount to, then use some flex pipe to mount to airbox.. works on GQs

Make up a template of what you want, and then take it to them, dont mention its a
snorkel. tell them its an exhaust, there is no difference. ;)

Thanks Truckster,
How do you mount it to the pillar?? I thougt of the flex hose and the Safari head, I just couldn't think of how to mount it to the outside panels to stop it getting thrown/Shaken off??
Thanks again

Same as Safari, small right angle piece of metal welded to exhaust, and then self tappers into body work.
