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.

I recently had my BT-50 fully modified through EliteTune and couldn’t be happier with the result. During my visit, they handled everything — exhaust, tune, lift kit, plus a full tyre and rim package — all in one go, which made the whole process super convenient.The quality of the work is excellent, and the difference in performance and overall look of the vehicle is unreal. You can tell they take pride in what they do and pay attention to the details.The crew are also very good — easy to deal with, knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions along the way. They made the whole experience smooth from start to finish.Highly recommend EliteTune to anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle. I’ll definitely be sending people their way.

Got my 80 Series tuned and serviced by Elite Tune and honestly couldn’t be happier. The difference is night and day. throttle response is way sharper, pulls harder through the rev range, and just feels way more alive to drive. It used to feel a bit sluggish, especially towing or going up hills, but now it handles it effortlessly.They really know their stuff too. Rickey was so polite and was to understand as he took the time to explain everything properly and made sure the tune suited how I actually use the car not just some generic setup which other shops do. You can tell they care about doing it right, not just rushing jobs through.Surprisingly it came with a bonus too as my fuel economy even improved a bit and the motor just runs smoother overall. Easily one of the best mods I’ve done to the 80.If you’re thinking about getting a tune, don’t even hesitate. Elite Tune absolutely delivered if i could give other 5 stars i would!

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
