Default Safari snorkel vibration issue

Hi guys

Just had a Safari snorkel fitted to my Unlimited and at 1500 rpm I get one hell of a vibration noise which then stops once I've ceased accelerating. Is really annoying to have a brand new snorkel and now my JK sounds like a bag of bolts so has anyone had the same issue and found a resolution?

Knew I should have gone AEV but we can't get them in the UK!!!

Thanks

I'd say to have a friend hop in your jeep, rev the engine up to 1500 rpms and then try to locate the noise yourself. Once you do, just use some type of rubber or foam with an adhesive back to help dampen the vibes and quiet things down a bit!
