Where in the hell can I purchase a replacement Mantec snorkel top online?
 
It DOES look a bit similar. Not the same, but similar...

I'm sure there are others, but you can probably find local dealers of at least one of these in your area.
Check heavy equipment dealers, that's the most common type of dealer who carries them.

These are all centrifugal precleaners.

Thanks for the links. Those are definitely a great option. I'll just have to make sure they'll clear the SD rack.



Is this snorkel top going on a genuine Mantec snorkel body?

It's not.
 
It's not.

Then just go with whatever snorkel top turns you on. Mantec snorkels are expensive, difficult to install and overall pretty old school. I think they are perfect for the DIs, and seem to be the only snorkel that looks appropriate on that model. The DIIs have more plastic and trimming on them, so the other snorkels look fine. Of course the mantec functions as intended and has the added benefit of the snorkel body being located inside the fender, but all those details are pretty irrelevant. The primary motivation to run a snorkel is because they look sweet :snorkel:

There are better options for precleaners and water evacuating heads now. In addition, the Mantec head needs to be installed facing rearward, which will affect HP (vacuum).

Lol, well that was pretty much my whole reasoning behind getting the Mantec snorkel top. I like the way it looks versus the Safari Snorkel topper I have now. The only problem with a lot of the precleaners I've encountered, is that they have a diameter too large to fit due to the close proximity of the snorkel to my Saftey Devices rack.

Besides, I think it looks rather.... "ghetto" with the Safari top turned backwards to keep crap out of it.

What kind of crap gets in it?

Yeah, how common are those wide open, desert areas in Canada? Ive been running mine facing forward and recently changed my air filter after thousands of miles. It looked no different than a stock filter with the same mileage.

The wide open desert areas are pretty common down here and I still just change my filter on regular intervals with minimal difference related to the snorkel. Hence my question?
 
Take a look at the Sy-Klone pre-filters. I looked at all of them and liked that one the best. Seemed like they put the most effort into designing their prefilter, and CAT uses them on a lot of their heavy equipment.
