Description
The ARB Safari V-Spec Snorkel is engineered specifically for the latest Toyota Hilux 2.8L D-4D 1GD-FTV and 2.8L D-4D 48V Hybrid applications. Designed to raise the engine air intake above the vehicle's original intake position, the Safari V-Spec snorkel helps provide a cleaner, cooler, and more reliable air supply in demanding off-road environments.
Manufactured from industrial-spec, UV-stable polyethylene, the snorkel is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions while providing a strong and durable air intake system. Its vehicle-specific design integrates with the Hilux's factory air intake system, while the water-separating Safari Air Ram helps reduce the amount of water and dust entering the incoming air stream.
Vehicle-Specific Safari V-Spec Design
The SS223HF is specifically engineered for the latest-generation Toyota Hilux with the 2.8L 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel engine, including the 48V mild-hybrid configuration. Safari develops its snorkels using computer-aided design and vehicle-specific development to achieve precise integration with the vehicle's intake system.
Industrial-Grade UV-Stable Polyethylene
The snorkel body is manufactured from premium UV-stable polyethylene, providing excellent resistance to weather, sunlight, and harsh off-road conditions. The substantial wall construction is designed to provide the physical strength required for demanding touring, trail, and expedition use.
Water-Separating Air Ram
Safari's distinctive Air Ram head is designed to help separate water from the incoming air stream while maintaining airflow to the engine. Raising the air intake also helps reduce the amount of dust and water encountered by the factory air intake during off-road driving and water crossings.
High-Flow Air Intake Design
The V-Spec snorkel uses high-flow air ducting designed to provide an air supply in excess of the engine's requirements. By positioning the intake higher on the vehicle, the system can help provide access to cleaner air in dusty, dry, and off-road environments.
Engine Protection for Off-Road Conditions
The raised air intake position is particularly useful when driving through dust, heavy rain, muddy terrain, and water crossings. The snorkel is designed to reduce the likelihood of water and excessive dust reaching the engine's air intake system, helping maintain a cleaner air supply during demanding conditions.
Durable Hardware and Air Ducting
Safari combines the polyethylene snorkel body with high-grade stainless steel and plated hardware for corrosion resistance. Custom-designed EPDM air-entry ducting is used within Safari snorkel systems, with the material rated for continuous operating temperatures up to 130°C.
Pre-Cleaner Compatible
The Safari V-Spec snorkel is compatible with optional 7-inch or 10-inch pre-cleaners on applicable models, providing additional flexibility for vehicles used in particularly dusty environments.
Australian-Designed and Manufactured
Safari snorkels are individually designed and manufactured in Australia from premium-quality polyethylene. Each system undergoes development and testing before production to ensure vehicle-specific integration and durability.
