Anyone have pics or tips for installing the 914rubber snorkel in a 4 cylinder? I picked one up in the Black Friday sale and just did a test fit before I snake that onto my wire harness. I know Mark made these a little long so they will work on sixes, but the buckle on my test fit won't do. What have others done to install these in a 4? Cut and glue maybe?

I played with this a bit over my lunch hour. Snaked the snorkel on and then scrunched it down about an inch short. It's not exactly in the right location, but close, and with the right compliment of wires inside. I lined the top of the snorkel up with the edge of the sleeving to give a visual gauge of how much it is shortened. With a little work, I was able to work the puckers into a somewhat neat roll that will be tucked so far up under the engine shelf that you'd really have to try hard to see. That'll work!

I think I'll see if I can tidy the roll up a little more and then leave it like that so maybe it will develop a memory to make replicating that roll easier when it is installed in the car.  |

Brent Mark is telling subliminally that you should do a -6 .. I know a guy who can help with the parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) In all seriousness this is good info to know. |
