    Look at this snorkel system.....

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwSFm...layer_embedded

    ^^ I'm speechless

    My favorite part is how he says the aftermarket snorkel kits look like crap.... but wait until you see what it looks like INSIDE his WK when he opens the rear doors

    I also wonder how much harder that engine is working from all the extra head loss....

    oh well, at least he can drive his viper(s)..

    It must be nice to have more money than brains.

    Cracks me up that I saw it on the 4xGuard facebook page and then after all the negative comments they removed it.

    Unfortunately, i found it on a Liberty forum... had to click a link to find out why a bunch of KJ and KK owners were making fun of a WK. Once i saw it, i realized they were more than justified....

    If you can suffer through the entire video, he does say that he is having a guard made for it that'll be a steel channel to protect all of the pipe underneath.

    Still ridiculous..

    I'm pretty sure this is the guy that pissed everyone off on JF with his "satire" video he made at RC... i'm looking at some of his other videos.

    It's the same guy who is on JF that caused all the troubled. I like his imagination tough bash if me you want I don't like his execution I think he got carried away LOL. What he needs to do is pull that pipe and use it as a template for some bent tubing. Not sure why he went up inside the back seat either why not just go up in the back cargo space. The guy obviously has enough money to trash a Wk the same way we would trash a 20 year old XJ. White PVC is only rated to about 140 degrees and the glue will become brittle and as the PVC flexes with the frame and grows and shrinks with the heat all those joints will just come apart. Not to mention whats going to happen to the engine while struggling to pull enough air threw all that pipe and all those turns and elbows he has just not good.

    Oh I agree with you on a lot of that Sal... he's got the money so I really don't care how he treats that WK, it's his and its his to beat up if he wants. I just find it funny how crappy of a job he did CONSIDERING he has so much expendable money. That looks like something i'd expect from a highschool kid. He [seemingly] has enough money, why not sketch it up and bring it to an exhaust shop that specializes in diesel trucks? He could have that all done in 5-6" exhaust pipe and used some heat wrap in the locations in the engine compartment to prevent heat soak. Instead, he's bragging about an atrocity that's akin of the potato gun i made in 10th grade....

    And yea, they couldn't find a better way to bring it into the cab? Maybe all the comments on youtube will help him put a bit more effort in "rev 2"
