Our 4x4 Snorkel Installation Services

Safari snorkels are the benchmark for touring and fleet vehicles across Australia. Built from UV-stabilised, cross-linked polyethylene, they are engineered to handle decades of sun, heat, and punishment. Every unit is vehicle-specific, meaning it follows your 4WD’s factory body lines for a clean, OEM-style finish.

  • Factory-fit moulds: Each Safari snorkel is CAD-designed and moulded to suit your model perfectly.
  • UV stabilised & impact resistant: Won’t crack, fade, or go brittle under WA’s harsh UV or when struck by branches.
  • Fit-and-forget reliability: Once fitted, Safari snorkels need little maintenance — they’re built to last the life of the vehicle.
  • ARMAX high-flow range: Optimised for tuned and turbocharged engines, giving higher airflow to support extra power.
  • Tested in extremes: Proven in mining fleets, desert touring, and remote area work where failure isn’t an option.

Best for: touring rigs, mining vehicles, and owners chasing maximum durability with a factory look.

Moonlight snorkels take a different approach, combining marine-grade stainless steel with a powder-coated finish for strength and a standout look. These snorkels offer higher airflow thanks to larger diameter piping, making them a favourite among performance builds.

  • Premium stainless construction: Built from 304/316 marine-grade stainless for corrosion resistance.
  • Powder-coated finish: Durable coating resists chips, scratches, and salt, keeping the snorkel looking sharp.
  • Aggressive styling: Offers a custom, high-end aesthetic compared to the chunkier Safari plastic design.
  • High-flow design: Larger internal diameter suits tuned engines and performance-focused 4WDs.
  • Strong but rigid: Excellent resistance to corrosion and flex, but may dent if struck hard.

Best for: custom and performance builds, or owners who want their snorkel to be a feature piece as well as a functional upgrade.

Top notch service from the boys at Elite tune, brought my 2020 Dmax in for a timing chain inspection and a valve clearance and they did an amazing job right from me walking through the doors handing the keys in and grabbing my keys and driving off the parking lot. Customer service was excellent, the team were very accommodating and extremely friendly, when I got my Ute back the engine bay was extremely neat and tidy after having the rocker cover off etc, I personally couldn’t be happier knowing I made the right call and took my vehicle to Elite Tune, definitely will be going back for any further servicing or repairs.Thankyou team !

Thankyou Elite Tune for your expertise and service on our newly purchased 2016 BT50. We came with a lot of questions and i cannot fault the communication and service we received. I was most impressed with the cleanliness of the workshop. Elite Tune present them selves very well. The workshop was full of cars which was reassuring, and we were able to get the car booked in in a relatively quick time frame. Their estimate was spot on (actually the final bill was slightly cheaper, which was a nice surprise) and we have received excellent aftercare service so far. We will be returning to Elite Tune for future work on our car.Special mention to Wazza, who dealt with all our enquiries and was super helpful, this was much appreciated.

Took my Ford Ranger to Elite Tune in Welshpool, and I am absolutely blown away. Their communication was spot on from start to finish, and they provided the absolute best service. I am amazed by how the car drives now. The turbo lag is gone, the power delivery is incredibly smooth, and the low-down grunt is unbelievable. If you want your rig sorted properly by people who know what they're doing, look no further than these guys.

FAQs

How long does it take to install a snorkel?

Most snorkel installations take half a day to a full day depending on the vehicle and whether an upgraded airbox is fitted at the same time. This includes guard cutting, rust-proofing, sealing, and pressure testing to ensure everything is watertight.

What is a snorkel?

A snorkel raises your 4WD’s air intake to roof height. This allows the engine to draw in cooler, cleaner air, reducing dust ingestion and protecting against water entry during creek or river crossings.

What is an airbox?

An airbox is a sealed chamber that houses the air filter and directs intake air into the engine. Upgraded airboxes are built stronger and more watertight than factory units, with improved airflow and filtration for harsh off-road conditions.

Does installing an airbox void warranty?

A correctly installed snorkel will not void your vehicle warranty. We use vehicle-specific snorkels, proper sealing, and anti-corrosion treatments to protect your 4WD and keep your servicing history intact.

Do you have to retune after installing a snorkel?

A tune is not required after fitting a snorkel, but it can help you unlock the full benefit of the improved airflow. Pairing your snorkel with an ECU remap or dyno tune ensures your engine takes advantage of the cleaner, cooler intake air.

What are the benefits of a snorkel?

  • Cleaner air intake in dusty conditions
  • Safer water crossings with sealed plumbing
  • Cooler airflow for better efficiency
  • Reduced risk of costly engine damage

What are the benefits of an upgraded airbox?

  • Stronger filtration to protect against dust and water
  • Improved airflow for tuned or high-performance engines
  • Easier inspection and maintenance with clear lids or quick-access designs
  • Greater reliability for touring, mining, and remote work
