As one of the most common 4×4 upgrades, snorkel kits unlock a long list of plus points, including improved engine performance, fuel efficiency and fuss-free maintenance.
Initially developed for use in hot, dry and dusty climates, the cooler air provided in larger volumes by a snorkel kit is now working wonders across a multitude of environments thanks to its dust and water ingress reducing effects. Snorkels are being used on everything from tanks to tractors, with their simple designs supplying a quick and easy way to improve performance and reliability.
When choosing a snorkel kit however opting for the cheapest is simply not an option. Cheap snorkels tend to be thin and can become easily cracked and damaged on impact with stones and branches.
Most serious users would never buy these cheap kits as a result. But there’s one brand that offers great value and is hugely respected worldwide for its durability, performance and efficiency. Here we introduce Safari…
Safari 4×4 Engineering – a world market leader
We stock Safari snorkels that are well regarded for delivering the very best standards. Safari has been doing what they do best for some time and has built a reputation for snorkel kits that not only look the part but function well for the long term.
We’ll let Safari explain more about the history and reputation of their brand:
“For decades Safari 4×4 Engineering has designed and manufactured automotive snorkels and 4WD performance systems made to enhance the performance, durability and driveability of 4×4 vehicles… Safari’s signature lies in the quality and durability of its components, the attention to detail in every system and the absolute standard that ‘product performance must always be reliably achieved.”
Explore Safari’s huge range right here
Safari snorkels are split into two categories – Armax and V-Spec – each of which provides an impressive array of features.
The V-Spec kits are of traditional Safari snorkel design. They are developed to guarantee the same airflow to the engine as a standard vehicle, regardless of the off-road challenges or conditions encountered. The Safari Armax snorkel kits deliver not just cleaner, cooler air but a lot of it. Those interested in using a snorkel to improve engine performance will appreciate the Armax’s 40% boost in airflow.
The differences between Safari’s Armax and V-Spec kits don’t end there. The air ram found on the Armax design is bigger to ensure the more substantial airflow it is known and celebrated for. There is however greater availability in the Safari V-Spec kits.
Both Safari’s Armax and V-Spec kits are high quality, boast cleaner and cooler air intake, and are protected by generous lifetime warranties.
Model-specific kits for quick and easy fitting
The fact that, unlike many other snorkel brands, Safari specialise in model-specific kits makes fitting easy and performance even higher.
With every model specific kit, you’ll receive all fitting parts, clamps, fitting templates and detailed instructions, including advice on any minor adaptations required to accommodate specific air filter boxes, other engine bay differences, and even wheel arch kit upgrades.
UV stable, durable and futureproof snorkels guaranteed
UV stability isn’t always high on the list of priorities when shopping for a snorkel, but it certainly should be! Many snorkel kits are often not UV stable, meaning they take on a chalkier appearance and become brittle over time.
To ensure optimum durability long into the future, Safari snorkels utilise their very own industrial spec, UV stabilised polyethylene to provide a UV stable material that won’t let you down on function or aesthetics. The use of cross-linked polyethylene also means substantial wall thickness that delivers strength in the toughest conditions.
