Also I see you joined in 2012, if you have a 2012 note it will be longer before the 12's model is done. Redesigned airbox and intake tube may be needed.

I'm taking donations for my snorkel if you want to send me the $375 to prevent burning a deeper hole.

Yes, all tubes and couplings have a ID of 3"

I tell you what... sense we are closer to production... pending last sample the first part of next week, I will start a new thread related to release date and production snorkel images... I'll try to answer all the key questions in the begining and let it take off from there. I'm like you regarding the number of pages so far...

Correct... I have a 2012 so you know I'm going to try to make this work as fast as possible. The 2012 may cost more because a more complex intake tube will be needed. There are clearance issues for the 2012 that I did not have with the old 3.8L motor.

As a side note, I'm looking into a new intake box that will allow a full conical air filter (like what we use with our current 3.8L CAI kit). I'm currently running a prototype CAI for the 2012 3.6L motor and all I can say is "WOW"... Much better and even getting 1mpg better fuel mileage. Sooooo the thinking is to have a new box big enough to allow the snorkel intake to dump into the new box... Should have better performance than a stock intake...

Waited this long, I'm in for waiting for a custom airbox along with the snorkel

Pics look good, I wonder how much If any cutting will be required for the install. I'll probably opt for the package with the high and low breathers doin can add the high one when I go wheeling. Excited for the release date and Pre orders!
