Raised intakes, or snorkels, are one of the best modifications you can do for your Jeep Wrangler if you plan to spend a lot of time off-road.
As anybody who’s ever driven on a trail knows, dust and debris are a fact of life off-road. The Wrangler intake has a fresh air duct that pulls outside air from the passenger fender area. But when the vehicle in front of you is kicking up dust, or you’re fording three feet of water, that air isn’t very fresh. Heavy dust often stays low to the ground, about where the stock fresh air inlet lives, but Borne Off-Road has a solution to get fresh air into your intake.
This Borne Off-Road Snorkel moves the fresh air inlet over 20 inches above the stock location, allowing the engine to pull in cleaner air. The precision rotational-molded tube is made from durable, UV-resistant cross-linked polyethylene that can withstand the heat of the sun and any debris the trail can throw at it. The top of our snorkel includes a 6-inch inlet with a steel mesh cover to protect the intake from large debris. This inlet can also be swapped for a pre-filter to help keep your main intake filter clean.
The snorkel mounts to the body with sturdy 2.5mm-thick steel brackets and mates directly to the stock lower airbox, making it perfect for use with the Mishimoto JL intake. The brackets and inlet screen are powder coated for maximum durability and are available in micro-wrinkle black, micro-wrinkle blue, or micro-wrinkle red. Borne Off-Road also offers the brackets and screen in a gray primer that can be easily customized to suit any build*. Like all Mishimoto and Borne Off-Road Wrangler products, this Wrangler Snorkel is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
