Snorkel from exhaust pipe material

Just got a quote from the exhaust guy that done my 3 inch system,for a snorkel and was pleasantly surprised.
$50 for mandrell bent one piece 3 inch snorkell....how good is that....
Then a coat of paint and the jobs done.
Going to get a 80 series cruiser air box for it and do it all at once..

PS. anyone got a template for the location of the hole in the mudguard? just a photocopy will do..
thanks.

how are you going to paint the inside?

my landcruiser metal snorkel over the last 12 years has developed rust from rain/humidity/moisture and so my air filter tends to get a few bits of rust flakes in it (can hear it when you shake it).

just something to consider as its only mild steel... still cheap though

How about using a compressor and a spray gun to coat the inside in paint ( if you have or can borrow them) , just an idea. Sounds like a good cheap option for a snorkel you got.

yeah i got both of those,should be able to get most of it coated.
good idea gadgets

make sure to get some pics

have to wait untill the 4th jan for him to get back to work..
will post pics when fitted.

Fish oil?
Or diesel?

Cap one end and slosh it about.

Or just go for stainless guys...

I was going to say stainless also but you can do what Aido said but do it with kill rust.
Make sure you give it a good clean first though as exhaust pipe has a layer of oil over it and the paint won't stick.
