There are tons of them, run a search. People just use some tubing, it isn't that hard and is pretty cheap to do.

i have a similar set up to tracker8wr except i used exhaust flex pipe. 2-1/4 and i bashed my hood a little to fit it. dont have a fitting on it i just run it straight back, i havent tested it for complete suction, im sure pvc would work  better, but its better than stock. it i stick hold my hand over it, it sucks really hard so i know it works better than no snorkel. just remember if you are traversing deep water, anything you have is better than nothing and blowing a hole in your motor.

Thx, top it just a 45 degree elbow with some bits cut out of the walls (at the top), to let the air through. And on top of that a cap that normally will be fitted to a larger pipe to close it off. All glued together  ;D real cheap, set me back maybe 20-30 bucks  ;D

it's easy, just measure 3 times, and cut once.  probably better if you do a mock up first

Ok, I thought my air intake was near the firewall in the fender well, not behind the headlight.  It was my first time out wheeling.  I had a jeep friend with me in case somthing happened.  That was only suppose to be 2 ft of water.
