Opposite Lock Cardiff stocks a broad range of Safari 4×4 products for drivers looking to upgrade their vehicle for touring, off-road driving and demanding Australian conditions. You can also explore our wider range of 4WD snorkels to compare different snorkel options for your vehicle.
Safari Snorkels are vehicle-specific raised air intake systems designed to deliver cleaner, cooler air to the factory air cleaner while helping reduce the intake of dust, debris and moisture during off-road driving. The range also includes V-Spec applications built to a heavier industrial specification. If you are also comparing other snorkel options, you can explore our Tanami Stainless Steel Snorkels.
Safari ARMAX Snorkels are the higher-flow products within the Safari range, designed for selected 4WD applications with greater airflow requirements. Some applications have been developed using CFD and FEA testing, with airflow performance tested on Safari’s 1200CFM airflow bench.
Safari V-Spec Snorkels are identified by Safari’s HF designation and are built to an industrial specification for demanding 4WD applications. Applicable V-Spec kits can also include stainless-steel hardware, vehicle-specific adaptors, and installation templates.
Safari Vehicle-Specific Snorkel Kits are developed for individual vehicle and engine applications rather than using a universal snorkel design. The exact components vary by application, so specifications should always be checked against the vehicle before fitment. If you are looking specifically for a Safari snorkel, we can help you confirm the correct application for your vehicle before fitment.
Safari designs its vehicle-specific snorkels around the requirements of individual 4WD applications. Depending on the model, Safari snorkel kits can include a UV-stabilised cross-linked polyethylene snorkel body, air ram, dedicated ducting, hoses, clamps, mounting hardware and a vehicle-specific fitting template.
Key features across applicable Safari 4×4 products include:
A Safari snorkel changes the position of the engine’s air intake. Instead of drawing air from a lower position in the engine bay, the snorkel routes the intake towards the upper section of the vehicle. The air ram then feeds air through the snorkel and into the vehicle’s intake system. Applicable Safari systems also use water-separation features within the air ram to help manage moisture entering the intake.
In simple terms, the process works like this:
Choosing the right Safari 4×4 accessory starts with confirming your vehicle. We can check the make, model, year, engine, and variant before recommending the applicable product. This is particularly important because Safari products are vehicle-specific, and different engines or body configurations can require different snorkel kits.
We also provide professional fitment at our Cardiff workshop. Installation can involve fitting the snorkel body to the guard, connecting the supplied ducting to the factory airbox, and checking the joins and seals. The estimated installation time depends on the vehicle and exact product, so our team can confirm the expected fitment time when you visit the workshop.
