Safari Snorkels: the ultimate guide

5th May 2022

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.

You can discover all of Safari’s market-leading snorkel kits right here at 4×4 Works and the many reasons why this leading brand is the world’s number one!

Safari Snorkels

• Toyota Landcruiser 200 SERIES (2015 – 2020)

Protecting your engine from dust, snow and water ingestion is essential for keeping your 200 Series on the tracks and not the side lines. A Safari snorkel will ensure that clean, dry air is always available, regardless of the conditions.

Manufactured in Australia from premium quality polyethylene, Safari snorkels are UV stable and incredibly resilient to withstand the harsh Australian environment. All systems are individually designed and undergo thorough research and testing prior to being tooled for production.

Safari snorkels are positively sealed to provide the ultimate in engine protection during river crossings and dusty conditions, while the quality fixtures and fittings ensure superior appearance and long term durability.

Install one before your next trip and breathe easier knowing that your engine is protected by a Safari snorkel.

Clever Design

Safari’s Air Ram system is a pivotal and functional attribute of the snorkel; CAD and lab tested, the Air Ram is designed to simultaneously remove the maximum volume of water from the incoming air stream, while delivering the maximum airflow to your vehicle’s engine. 

Durable Materials

Safari snorkels utilise a UV stable polyethylene body which ensures a strong and robust fitting to the outside of your 4×4, complemented by high-grade stainless steel and plated hardware for corrosion resistance on all internal and external fittings and fixtures. All Safari connection ducting is custom designed and tooled and is manufactured from EPDM moulded rubber, rated to a continual 130°C operating temperature. There is nothing better!

Vehicle Specific

Nothing fits like Safari. As a result of the intricate design process, working with a combination of CAD modelling and actual vehicles, Safari snorkels are manufactured to integrate seamlessly. Where other products might look similar, none are developed with such attention to detail from the air-box back to the Air Ram to work perfectly with your vehicle.

Safari Snorkel Features

Reduces dust intake in Outback conditions

Safari snorkels are ideal for convoy driving where severe dust can have a detrimental effect on your engine’s performance.

Protects Your Engine From Water

Keep your engine dry and your 4WD moving during water crossings, Safari snorkels reduce the likelihood of engine damage.

Pre Cleaner Compatible

Safari snorkels are fully compatible with optional 7″ or 10″ pre cleaners on some models.

Maintains Fresh Air For Your Engine

High flow air ducting and body ensures air supply is in excess of engine requirements.

Armax Performance Snorkels

Providing increased power for today’s high output engines, Safari Armax snorkels are primarily designed to deliver greater fuel economy and engine performance.

Featuring a 4″ air ram and larger cross section body, the Armax range has been developed to flow 30% more air over a standard intake or traditional Safari snorkel. Armax is suited for drivers seeking the maximum output from their vehicle, and will work in tandem with other performance modifications, such as high flow exhausts or engine remapping.

Armax snorkels are available for LandCruiser 200 series models (4.5L Diesel)

This of course applies to components that are not visible.

For example in order to achieve the optimum air flow within the inner guard area of the Patrol, special ducts were engineered to closely couple the snorkel body to the standard air intake assembly. The result is maximum engine performance and the best possible fuel economy.

Huge air flow is but one aspect of the ultimate in snorkel design. The Safari air ra m is designed to perform two very important roles. The most obvious is to funnel cool clean air into the snorkel body - but just as importantly, the Safari air ram acts as a higly efficient water separator to remove rain water from the incoming air stream - thus ensuring safe engine operation through even the most torrential tropical storms.

In addition, the detachable Safari air ram can be rotated to any position. This means great peace of mind for those who plan to travel in cold or high altitude conditions where heavy snow falls are anticipated. By rotating the air ram to face away from the prevailing wind/direction of motion, the air ram delivers additional protection from the choking effects of snow build-up inside the air intake.

The Safari Snorkel body is manufactured to the highest standards in durable, UV stable, cross linked polyethylene material. In addition, the substantial material wall thickness delivers huge physical strength to ensure that the snorkel breezes through the toughest off-road conditions on the planet.

The Safari Snorkel system is supplied as a complete and comprehensive system that includes every nut, bolt and bracket required for installation - right from robust zero-corrosion stainless steel studs, self-locking nyloc nuts and large diameter anodized body washers through to the tough plastic A-pillar inserts.

Sy-klone series 9001 snorkel pre-cleaner on arb safari snorkel – install & overview.

Sy-Klone Series 9001 Snorkel Pre-Cleaner Overview and Install on an ARB Safari Snorkel For the 5th Gen 4Runner

In a previous article, I covered the installation of ARB’s Safari Snorkel on my 5th Gen 4Runner, where I discussed the benefits of a raised intake over the stock intake that hides inside the fender.

One thing a raised air intake does is reduce the number of particulates that enter the intake box, however, it’s certainly not the end-all solution. The forward-facing ram-style intake that comes on the Safari Snorkel also allows for any incoming particulates to head straight down the pipe and into the air filter.

Why You Need a Pre-Cleaner

Bugs, dust, and vegetation are the common infiltrators with the standard top and over time they can cause a premature replacement of the air filter. Some solutions to this problem include reversing the snorkel head to have it face backward which is only advised for low-speed operation in heavy dust or using an oiled “sock” over the intake to collect incoming dust. Both of these options may help slightly, but neither solve the problem entirely.

Why the Snorkel Upgrade (Sy-Klone)

To improve air quality, and remove additional particulates, we look to a product that has aided the military and commercial operations for decades. The product is the Sy-Klone Series 9001 pre-cleaner available exclusively for the off-road market through Snorkel Upgrade . The Series 9001 is a dome-shaped snorkel intake replacement that uses the power of centrifugal force to separate solid particulates from clean air.

This is the final solution to the dirty filter problem that plagues so many expedition-style vehicles that promise to:

• Increase your air filter service life
• Decrease potential blockages from snow and other debris
• Keep your engine as healthy as it can be as far as air is concerned

How it Works

Inside the dome, the housing is a series of blades set on a sealed bearing assembly. As your engine creates a vacuum in the intake/snorkel, fresh air is drawn into the bottom of the dome through a set of louvers. These louvers force the entering air to circulate upwards into a rotating impeller creating a “Sy-Klone” effect within the dome. This cyclone uses the power of physics and centrifugal “force” to force any airborne particulates with mass greater than air to the outside of the dome as it’s being whirled around. But where does all of that stuff go? The Series 9001 has a small slit in that dome with an opening to allow those trapped particulates out of the dome and away from your air intake. Science!

For a complete explanation of the trickery behind the 9001, click here for an overview from Snorkel Upgrade!

Install Overview

Installing the Sy-Klone onto the snorkel is a simple process.

Measure your snorkel inlet to make sure you have the correct Series 9001 snorkel (the ARB snorkel has a 4” inlet). Once you know you have the correct model, remove the standard forward-facing snorkel head with whatever hardware it came with.

Set the supplied stainless steel t-bolt band clamp on the neck of the Sy-Klone and snug it up to keep it from falling off when you place it on the snorkel.

Set the pre-cleaner on the snorkel top with the slot facing straight back towards the rear of the 4Runner. This allows debris to exit the dome without turbulent interference.

Tighten the clamp until the pre-cleaner is snug on the snorkel body and grab your cold beverage to celebrate your victory in the battle against dirty air!

Now that you’ve installed and admired your new Series 9001 pre-cleaner, I’ll cue you in on a couple more bonus design details.

Sy-Klone Details

With a downward-facing inlet, the Sy-Klone skirts one of the known issues with forward-facing snorkel inlets, snow/ice accumulation. Those that have driven through heavy wet snow know that the grille on the face of a standard snorkel can quickly clog and ultimately require clearing to function properly.

Pulling air from below reduces the likelihood of clogging due to ice build-up, keeping you moving forward even in the worst storms. In severe conditions where snow build-up occurs on the lower grid is unavoidable, the first grid can be unscrewed and removed. From here, any snow that enters the dome will be ejected out the back just like any other particulate. Pretty rad!

Trails are full of trees, rocks, bushes, and other items that are right at the height of your snorkel inlet. In a scenario where a tree branch impacts your standard snorkel head, the force could damage your a-pillar where it connects to the top of the snorkel, maybe even your fender! The Sy-Klone has built-in relief points in the main structure that are designed to break if there is a large impact. This sacrificial design keeps your snorkel and bodywork intact if something unexpected happens when you’re out having fun!

 Final Thoughts

You installed a snorkel on your 4Runner for a reason (or a few), why not take it to the next and end-all level? The addition of the Sy-Klone Series 9001 pre-cleaner to your snorkel adds protection to your motor, increases your filter service life, and provides a few key design advantages over the typical forward-facing snorkel head.

The only thing I wish was addressed with this product is the gap between the bottom of the pre-cleaner and the “step” on the top part of the ARB snorkel. You can cut down the top of the snorkel to mate the pre-cleaner to that ridge, but with limited clearance to the a-pillar, there isn’t really any room to trim it shorter. Other snorkels (Dobinsons) may vary , but I’ll likely add a black sleeve to this small section for appearances’ sake.

From the driver’s seat, the Sy-Klone isn’t really noticeable, unless you lean down a bit like in this photo. There isn’t an increase in wind noise that’s noticeable to me, even with the window down. The only thing you will note is an increase in “intake growl” under load with the passenger window down. I’m more than OK with that, especially in low-range plowing through the snow at high RPM!

I am very excited to give this product a go and really test how well it performs in the Central Oregon dust this summer. I’ll be back after some trips and miles to report back on how the Series 9001 has faired and how dirty my air filter looks… OR DOESN’T!

To order yours head over to Snorkel Upgrade , the exclusive retailer of the Sy-Klone for the overland/off-road market!

Freshly rooted in Central Oregon, I have always had an eye for the outdoors and the vehicles that get you there. As a gateway to the wild, I have spent weekends exploring the best that the west coast has to offer in my expedition style 4Runner.

I cant wait to get one!

I’ve been using the Sy-Klone 9001 for almost a year and love it. When I check my air cleaner filter, it always clean now.
