OK today i started rerouting my air intake snorkel with 2 1/2 PVC. The 2'' has worked great ever since i done them but I've alway felt they were a little restrictive in comparison to the stock intake so I've had it on my mind to re run them with 2 1/2 for some time now.
Today i was bored and the weather was nice so i jumped on it. Heres were I'm at now. I tried to run them under the frame bar like most have been doing as of late but the 2 1/2 fittings are much larger then the 2". Even with them butted tight together theres just not enough room to run them under the bar. So i ran them around.As you can see in the pics i have room to do this, but I'm not sure i want to do it this way. I would still like to run it under the bar for less turns.I'm sure even with a few turns it's gonna breath way better then the way i had it but I'd still like to keep it as stright as i can. I could do this if i had a longer rubber hose.I could run a hose from the air box under the bar to a 90. From the 90 i would just run straight up beside my other snorkel tubes.
Anyone got a good idea were i might find a rubber house of this diameter that i could just cut to the length i want. I was thinking maybe a radiator hose for a diesel engine might be around that size?? Any suggestions? If i cant find a hose i can always run it like it is in the pics.
Nothing is glued yet. Its just stuck together.
Look how much bigger the 2 1/2" is compared to the 2"
