Rugged use requires extremely reliable performance, which is why the Safari V-Spec Snorkel offers great airflow and engine protection. 

Key Features:

  • Efficient airflow and Engine Protection
  • Australian Designed & Manufactured: Made Using Durable, UV Stable Materials Suited for Australia’s Harsh Weather Conditions
  • Raised Air Intake: Engine protection from dust, dirt, and water is critical during off-road and river crossing scenarios. 
  • Efficient Water Separation: Clean, dry air intake is guaranteed by the air ram design that actively removes water from the intake stream. 
  • Massive Airflow Capacity: A high volume of cool, clean air is directly supplied to the stock air cleaner on the PX II engine. 
  • Built for Tough Terrain: Cross-linked polyethylene material is tough, with thick walls that don’t crack or break under extreme off-road conditions. 
  • Easy Installation: Precise template position guarantees accurate installation, making the fill guide step-by-step. 
  • Lifetime Warranty – Assurance of an enduring product with minimal maintenance needed.

Performance Boost:

Air intake performance is enhanced dramatically while the chance for the engine to be damaged and scoped is minimized with the V-Spec snorkel, along with ensuring the dependable performance under rainy and dusty environment.

If the goal is increased airflow and upgraded engine capabilities, then ARMAX Snorkel is the best option. 

Key Features:

  • Works for modified vehicles as well as tuned everyday cars, optimized for aftermarket parts like EPS.AAC and tuned aftermarket exhausts. 
  • Up to 50% More Airflow offered by the snorkel which exceeds expectations for aftermarket boosted vehicles. Inline performance is its high-flow air ram with a minimum 4″ neck and restrictive grill.
  • Specifically Suitable for Engine Power: There are other ARMAX performance parts that work best after the breath of the engine is tested in-house.  
  • Tough UV-Stable Material: In the harsh Australian conditions, this material is still dependable.  
  • Engine Protection: Effectively Filters Fuel Contaminated with Rain Water.  
  • Controlled Installation: The instruction manual details vehicle-specific fitment, also includes a Ford factory flare template kit SS982HP FK optional.  
  • Warranty Period: This claim is proven through Safari’s trust in the child products.  

Performance Enhancement:  

With increases in performance, it was with the intention of making adjustments to the ARMAX snorkel as it is fitted. This works because it ensures full charging of the combustion cycle which reduces the temperature, increases the smoothness, and increases the power of the vehicle.
