Happyoldgit Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Are there any other RAI's on the market apart from the old stovepipe / Bearmach type that don't require additional holes drilling in the wing outside of the intake area?

Steve Hiatt Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 There was a thread on the Madlandy forum about non genuine ones causing the engine management light to come on, on Pumas. thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have a feeling the Mantec plastic ones have some sort of clip in arrangement, which to me looks carp and is about as waterproof as my pants, but I don't think it needs extra holes, may be worth checking out. Safaris certainly have holes outside the intake area. I assume you're looking for something that can be taken off without leaving scars? You can't view that thread without being a member of Madlandy but FWIW I've never heard of engine management lights coming on with Pumas due to snorkels and there are quite a few fitted round here.

Happyoldgit Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yep, I just don't fancy the additional holes outside of the intake area plus I'm not a great fan of external plastic pipework. That's not to say there's anything wrong with it, it's just my personal preference. I've heard about the light issue too, I suppose it all boils down to the amount of restriction inherent in the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR008383 Military snorkle Yeah - been around since the ark and look a bit like the flue from an old woodburning stove. The flexi pipe is a weakness too.

F4 only show the newest Mantec version as listed for the Puma vehicles, just shows a pic of the kit laid out unfitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 F4 only show the newest Mantec version as listed for the Puma vehicles, just shows a pic of the kit laid out unfitted. IIRC the Mantecs require drilling of holes and fitting of rivnuts outside of the intake area which is what I'd like to avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyoldgit Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Is this any help? http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=44438 Thanks but no as it requires additional holes to be drilled in the wing outside the intake duct.
