What's your opinion of the Hauk Snorkel?

 

[Robmypro]

$20 on a carwash. It was dirty before i even got it home.

 

[Mrjimmystewart]

Over the years I think of all the money I spent on Jeeps and women - and the rest I just wasted!

Spent about $4k on setting up for flat towing, another $1k on web doors, CB, door hangers, grab handles, jack

 

[Arkewn]

~$4k on tires, bumper, lift, compressor, dominion hi-lift mount, numerous accessories...

Will likely spend another $2.5-3k this spring on XPEL front end coverage, Sunrider top (plz go back on sale!), and Bartact rear seat covers (for the kids).

At least gas prices are cheap for right now...

 

[IPvFletch]

I purchased 4 different sizes/packs of Grease Fittings, all of which did not fit, only afterwards to call RK up and learn the CORRECT size!!

 

[jlewissystem]

We just ordered this week and we're already down $2.5K

Just the beginning...

Hey,

It's pretty low profile looking for those that don't know about snorkels (I'm in New York City) so it doesn't attract attention. For those of us that love snorkels, it's pretty awesome looking.

Performance: I'd say when I got in I noticed an immediate bump in power. I'm not sure if it added power necessarily but it definitely increased throttle response. Also, I'm not sure if it's in my head but the exhaust sounds a bit louder.

I've also got the 18" extension for it. So when I actually go offroad you can remove the snorkel from the current position, add the extension, and you're ready to go through some deep s**t.

Thanks!

Through pretty thorough research, I havent wasted any $$$. If at some point something gets removed/no longer used, then its only a partial waste...

Did you install it? I've only heard of one other person with it and they complained that it fit like $hit and they actually bought a different one. They said the top of the hood was basically crushing the pipe.

Hey,

Yep! I installed myself. I'd say I'm an "intermediate" mechanic. I can do all bolt ons, basic wiring etc and it went fine.

You can view my work on Instagram Petey003. I posted quite a few pics and vids along the way.

I also have a build thread step by step on here.

The one piece that was a bitch (until I figured it out) was the piece that goes in by the cowl. It fits in awkward unless you completely remove the plastic cowl piece.

Thanks man, appreciate it!

I agree, but I did waste a little waiting for a proper lift. I installed a 1.5" lift and replaced it with a 3.5" 6mo later 2 door support is so far behind

 

[smokinjeep]

Dirty dog sunshades. Crappy fitment. Should have gone with alien. They sag more than an 80 year olds rack.

 

[Slowpoke]

I spent my money on Harleys, Jeeps and women.
The rest of it I wasted...
