Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows what kind of snorkel I may have in my newly acquired car. It's bigger than a standard snorkel but has no markings etc. I'm wondering if it's an EL GT one? Pics can be found in the attached links. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...t/IMG_0544.jpg http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...t/IMG_0543.jpg Thanks, Justin.

I wouldn't mind an SS one, but I just cannot justify the cost!

I swapped my standard one for a GT one, and changed to a K&N at the same time, and it didn't make any noticable difference.

ss inductions snorkles are way bigger. have to modify the airbox to suit.
