No cabin pressure issues windows up, or down, a/c on or off. (i keep the a/c on the auto switch it regularly cuts on and off as it should) hasn't been running any more or less than usuall we're in the high 80's temp wise so far.

no smells, gasses, co2 levels, nothing negative to report.

when throttle is just barely cracked theres zero noise added inside the cabin(this is 90% of the time on the road just barely pushed to maintain speed other than hill climbs or towing)

when throttle is about a 3rd opened you can hear a hiss/small hollow suction noise

when throttle is 2/3rds opened you can hear the motor destinctly running up its power band similar to the sound of a performance exhaust at same throttle position

when throttle is 3/3rds opened (fully opened) yes the engine sounds like its running inside the truck with a performance exhaust (so still muffled) I've injoyed the tune of it from my V8, unsure of how a V6 would sound.

and as stated before the radio tunes out all noises from the first three throttle positions mentioned. The engine sound still slightly overpowers the radio at full throttle but IMHO it sounds great! and have zero mud/water in airbox after this... sorry would've takin picks of the playground after rushing out to help my buddy out (i.e. the second pic) we played around some more after i got him out. and i never thought once about the camra until i got home lol.

clean

how hard is it to pull of the front fender? I need to fix my safari snorkel connection and would be much easier with fender removed instead of going up through the wheel well

Has anyone used PVC for this instead of ABS? I can get a smaller section of PVC DWV and it's cheaper. Would I still be able to heat up the PVC DWV to shape it?

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing.

So does this draw air from inside the cabin?

18.) once everything is installed usa today protonmail holes connected use sylicone and create about a 1/2" bead around the hole running into the cab and the hole running into your engine bay. the more sylicone the better!!!

Too loud

I love the sound of this mod but my wife doesn't. Had anyone tried dampening the sound with foam or anything like that? Maybe stuff some foam or batting behind the glove box where the hole is?

Here's my take. Definitely loud - I live in the mountains, and the drone gets pretty annoying. Going to live with it for a bit, but I think I'll end up going the cowl induction route eventually.

I hope I'm not about to show my ignorance here but... what is the benefit of this? It appears that the inlet is lower then it originally was and we all know the cab will flood in deep water. I thought the benefit of a snorkel was to get the inlet as high as possible to prevent it from sucking in water. I don't see how this helps. Please enlighten me. Honest question, not trying to be a smart ass.
