I shoulda sent this 'reply all' as this subject comes up sometimes, looking for intake ducting hose. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Don Hanson <dhanson928@gmail.com> Date: Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 2:36 PM Subject: Re: air intake snorkel hose To: Jarrett Anthony Kupcinski <kupcinski@gmail.com>
Google "Brake duct hose" or look at it at Pegasus Racing's catalog...here https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=3620 I ran my inline four VW intake with this hose. It goes up inside the right rear pillar and I turned it 180 degrees in there at the top to keep water from the filter, which is in the normal vanagon spot. So I get cool intake air, not hot stuff from the engine compartment. You could locate a filter up there also...easy access by removing the outer plastic grill. Don Hanson
