If its true and they are trying to get more airflow to the already air starved CRD, (150% increase according to monster on the Aussie board) I'm in....

I want one.

What's the latest on this? I checked the DPG Offroad website and the Gibson website and have found no information. Have I missed something?

Yah, I'm wondering if there's any more excitement over this thing or have they said F it?

Yep. it is for real and it will be well developed...have talked more than a few times with them. He has called me a few times for Aussieland to ask a few questions about the CRD...exchanged some pics and turbo operation details with him.

Funny thing is they make snorkels and Port-a-Lets (outhaouses)...One for Intake purpose and One for Exhaust issues

Sounds like it, but the US folks will have to relocate the radio antenna...we better start thinking about the best way to do that.

raceinfan · **Posted:** Thu Nov 02, 2006 9:08 pm

I have satellite radio so I'll remove it for good :twisted:

Guest · **Posted:** Thu Nov 02, 2006 9:19 pm

I was just thinkin a standoff for the antenna to pull it a bit away from the fender so it clears the snorkel. worst comes to worst, I have XM too so it's not like I really listen to regular radio anyway

What about mounting the antenna to the snorkel? Just run the cable inside the snorkel and out again. Probably a dozy idea, IDK.

gibson is making the first production run of the snorkels next week

AZScout · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:55 am

Woo Hoo! How do we get in line?

isis · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2006 11:56 am

so am I to understand the later models don't have snorkels?

Jeger · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2006 12:14 pm

None of them have snorkels.
this is what we are talking about, this is only a development piece, the final product will look more "finished" I hope.

I stole this image from "monster" on the ausjeepoffroad site, I will take it off if if you dont want it here

isis · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2006 12:26 pm

yea that would be awesome to have.

the 07's have a snorkel but not that high up.

DarbyWalters · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2006 12:46 pm

I wish we could get the most rear window type antenae that they get abroad, then there would be nothing sticking up.

Prices for these babies will probably be in the $325-$350 range. Dirk is probably going to start a group buy when he knows the crate is shipped. He will let me know and then we can start a thread.

Now that is ugly. I'm going to have to fab my own if that is the planned production model...

I wonder if they'll be dark grey to match the Sport fenders, or paintable, or what? Or did someone already ask this?

raceinfan · **Posted:** Fri Nov 03, 2006 4:56 pm

I would assume that they would be black
