Dragon, did you you use the same setup for the CAI + Snorkel as Shadow did?
if not, can you show/tell us what you used? thanks.
I copied this from the other thread, but it should explain it all. There does not seem to be enough room for all of the extra plumbing fixtures unless you really cut everything down, so I changed plans mid stream
Here it is:
Problem Two:
The connection between the CAI and the snorkel should have been easier than I made it due to the fact that I was trying many things. I started out with a plan gone bad. The reason is; there is simply not enough space between the ARB connection hose and the CAI inlet to do very much fancy stuff.
What I ended up doing is:
I still used the full length of the ARB connector tube.
I still used the rubber seal for the CAI that you put around the CAI box inlet opening.
I ran the ARB connector tube straight inside of the CAI box. It is a pretty good fit, but not completely air tight and certainly not water tight.
I tried a few different things with gasketing, window glazing tape, glazing rubber, door seals, etc etc. None of it worked well.
What I ended up deciding is that the only way I can know for sure it will be air and water tight is to go back to basics. Caulk. Silicone.
I grabbed some black silicone and went around the perimter of the ARB inlet tube. It is a complete seal. It should expand and contract with the cold weather here in Chicago and it should not have to be replaced for 10 years, but I will inspect it annually just in case. Easy as pie.
yes, you are probably breathing,,,, a little easier now....you know with the snorkel... good to see it is holding up to the ol friendly illinois winter. they cann be tough i know.. now lets give it the salt test eh?
AWSOME RIDE Dragon. One day ill grow up and have a build thread.
