Lucky 8’s Project P38

[whatroad]

Wow, refreshing to see a setup that stays tight and clean to the body. I'm not a fan of snorkels period, however this one is clean and thankfully not some massive abs p.o.s. that hangs on the outside of the front fender. Well done.

This is exactly what I was hoping for when you guys said you were getting one fabed-up as a potential production product; I'm not a fan of the homemade ones out there that run the entire length of the fender on the outside.

Here's hoping to see something as a purchasable option sometime soon!

Great looks! That certainly will improve with the top lowered.
Much aero noise at highway speeds?

 

[Fivespddisco]

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

We will cut the top and then we can start running the flex tube on the inside

 

[Aegis]

Will you be running the flex tube inside of the fender, or straight into the bay?

Fender. That way it stays Cool longer and people can keep the EAS

isn't that going to be a bit restrictive?

Doesn't the Mantec design for the Discos run through the fender as well?

For the most part all snorkels are restrictive. I dont know why the fender would ad to it. The diameter does not change from the air box intake all the way to the pipe.

Yes

 

[Aegis]

That's what I figured... If it works well enough in that application, I don't see any reason it shouldn't in this one, lol

That was my question, if it doesn't change , it got my seal of appoval.
