He sent me a email yesterday. The pre-filter is 150$ by itself. I asked him if he could sell the kit for 200$ plus the pre-filter which would make the kit cost 350$ and he said no. I'm hoping he can do it for no more than 250$ but I can't control what he wants to sell it for.
I'll keep on him about a price. I my mind it don't matter how much you guys like it, if it cost too much your not going to buy it.

I've heard nothing from him, if I don't hear back soon I'll show you guys how he did it.

Quite Frankly a kit like this should sell in the $600.00 +++ range, lots of R&D and lots of custom fabricating!

Re: H2 H2Sut Snorkel Feedback Wanted
I've called him and emailed him with no response. So I just have to assume he has no interest in making them. Since he has choosen not to respond I see no reason why I couldn't share with you guys what he did so you could do it on your own. The only difficult parts are the 90 degree tube and the urethane goop seal. It's all 4" exhaust pipe that is coated inside and out.
I'm a horrible linguist so I'll just explain the photo's.
He cut the 4" pipe to fit the plastic. He then bolted it to the plastic and sealed it all with urethane. He also cut out a square panel to cover up the existing inlet on the box which is also sealed with urethane.
This step is easier than it looks. All you do is take a heat gun and get the washer tank hot enough to be pliable. Then simply work it into it's new shape with a piece of pipe or any type of metal that won't stick to the plastic. Another way to do it is to pour boiling water in it to the top, wait a few seconds and just push the corner in. The quickly dump the water out.
What I was helping him with was finding a baja style pass though air box that could all be hooked up without having to make the urethane gaskets. It would all be bolt together. The 4" pipe was used to allow the engine to not loose any power with the sy-klone pre-cleaner. It has a turbine inside it that removes debris out the slide slots on it. Unlike the ARB scoops that grab every little particle in the air and take life away from the filer, the pre-cleaner only lets clean air get to the box. Keeping the pipe at 4" all the way through won't cause the engine to starve for air.
Personally if it was me I would had taken the 90 degree pipe and cut it way short of the cowl tower. Run it like that most the time and the when it's time for offroading you could just pop off the tower and slip on the snorkel stack. You could even mount the Sy-Klone rite to the 90 degree pipe and then just add a extention for the snorkel when needed. I think it's large enough to cover that area.
Hope this helps you guys, it would be cool to see some DIY's. Feel free to PM or email me with any questions you got and I will answer the best I can. I did help out a lot with this but just on the airflow engineering side of it. I didn't do the real work or the design but I helped with lot's of math for the CFM's.
