Am thinking about making a snorkel for my V8, the problem is I have no air box just a k&n filter, If I buy the mushroom type filter for the top will this be enough ??

Did a search and got loads of info on how to do it but most had a air box in the pics
 
Best bet is to get an enclosed cone filter, something like a BMC CDA or cheaper/similar, this way you've got a inlet and outlet fitting for hoses, in a sealed casing.

Easy job :)
 
Second option, although quite frowned upon i guess. But still cheap...

Route your intake upto the top of your snorkel, and stick the filter on the top of your snorkel.

It will work for sure, i have seen many disco's running like this. Just be carefull when green laning that it dont get snapped off. Engines dont like sucking in leaves

thats the way I was thinking but wasnt sure
 
Like i said, bmc cda is the idea but there are cheaper copies around.

K&n, pipercross viper, etc etc, or just an eBay special.

A hose fitting on either end makes it easy to add the snorkle pipes.

Filter on top of snorkel works, also helps to avoid large amounts of water/mud being sucked down the snorkel BUT they do look well gay and it leaves the filter vulnerable.

Cheers :)

Wicked innit bruv!Big up the posse!etc etc ......

....note the gen-you-wine sticky back plastic carbon style effect....

....seriously though,I was looking at gutter downpipes and joints in Trago Mills earlier and it looked like I could make a snorkel out of that for one of my many sit-in-a-field disco's.How did you do yours?

...and how much was the chav box?
 
The bling air box is £18 from t'bay havent started it yet but 70mm drain pipe and a few bends should do it,

Athough I might just bite the bullet and get the real deal, either way I still need the bling,pop a cap in ya arse air box
