Raised Air Intake, Snorkel Pre-Cleaner Head

Raised Air Intake, Snorkel Pre-Cleaner Head.

The Raised Air Intake Pre-Cleaner Air Head is a precision made high quality linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).  This gives strength and durability in harsh environmental conditions.

It is a straight replacement for any other Head.  We have a choice of two Heads, one which is 3″ /175mm diameter and one which is 3.5″ /180mm diameter neck size.  It will fit to most 4x4s fitted with raised air intakes.

The Snorkel Cyclonic Pre-Cleaner Head has a large 180 mm easy open bowl for removing dust and other contaminants.

It should always be remembered what a Raised Air Intake (also known as a Snorkel) is designed for, besides being a statement.

Raised Air Intakes are purposefully designed and ideal when driving on dusty or sandy conditions.  The raised air intake helps protect the engine by taking in cleaner air from an elevated position, above the bonnet, and therefore reducing the amount of dust particles taken into the air filter.

If using for deeper water wading, it must be ensured that all joints in the air intake to engine filter system are sealed using a waterproofing system such as silicone or gaskets and also using water traps/valves in the the manufacturer has installed, or as required.

Additional information of interest

• Preparation. The Raised Air Intake Header is ready coloured in Satin Black and does not require painting. See our sister company Paintman Paint however for all your other painting requirements to give a quality painted finish both in primers and topcoat.
• Does the Pre-Cleaner Air Intake make a difference.  Pre-Cleaner air intakes can increase your vehicle’s performance.  By inhaling air high above road dust then forcing into a high speed cyclonic motion, any dust or contaminants are pushed to the outside of the Pre-Cleaner Head where they are captured. The remaining clean air is then drawn down the neck of the snorkel body and into the engine’s air filter.  With this pre-cleaner your air filter’s life will increase due to the increase of clean air.
