This looks crap!!!!! i saw one here a few weeks back from a prado and it looked like it was made for the outback.
as for water the engine can handle a degree of water and also the snorkle heads have drain slots around the mounting so that actually only a very small amount of water gets to the motor anyway.

The ram diverts most of the water.This ones a professional build.I'm looking at other options ,something else would be close or i'll be cracking open the fibreglass.

Man, I totally should have bought a Baja while I was in Canada. Even if the driver sits on the wrong side.
If they had made a two door version, with the sloping transition between cab and tray (like the old brumby) then I would have bought one for sure!
Dunno about that snorkle, though. Looks like pvc pipe painted black.

Wouldnt be PVC as it'll be metal hand made with pipe bender - same stuff what you would make an exhaust..
Really why would you need an snorkle for - Are you planning to do deep water crossing?

Ask Jack why you need a snorkle.The water looked about as deep as the centre of the wheel.Take a peek under a gen3 outback and look where the air intake is its a water magnet.

that looks a hole lot better than the one on the Baja.
what 4wd is it made for? and how well it fit the shape of the outback?

guys don't spend all that coin on the plastic snorkels, for the same or less money you could get a custom stainless one made...
