Re: Xtrail snorkel link
Hi Guys,
I have just received a further clarifying reply from the Spanish company that makes the snorkels saying it is compatible with the petrol engine (i.e. ours) and it has been designed for the RHD models like ours as well.
They sent me this pic of how it is connected from the inside.
The strange think they mentioned though, was that they received "un-confirmed" reports stating that fuel consumption has increased a little for those exys fitted with the snorkel 
I sent back a reply asking them to confirm pricing and also clarify their statement further, as I would have thought that adding a snorkel means increasing "cold" air intake which in turn should improve fuel economy and power.
In the absense of any interest of the local manufacturers to design one for the exy, I think this would be our only option for a snorkel at the moment.

Re: Xtrail snorkel link
OK Guys,
I have received pricing from Spain for these and it's as follows:
Single order pricing is $1,400 or so (shipped)
Bulk order of 6 or more would see the above price drop to around $850 (shipped)
Expensive? of course. Worth it? it depends where you drive LOL

Re: Xtrail snorkel link
I agree with you Rich, but finding a local manufacturer that would be interested in designing one for the xtrail is not an easy task.
I have approached 2 different snorkel manufacturers in Australia and none of them was interested.
Seeing the price of the locally made snorkels, I don't think it'll be much cheaper either (but I could be wrong)

Re: Xtrail snorkel link
Well, I was just saying to Noel last night that Dez posted the pic of the snorkel and disappeared without letting us know any details 
I do suspect it is home-made type, but it does look very nice and professionally done.
