Designed to Protect & Perform

The Safari Armax Snorkel is more than a stylish upgrade — it is a rugged necessity for serious off-roaders. Its water-separating air ram is engineered to eliminate rainwater and moisture from the incoming air, protecting your engine during torrential downpours or river crossings. This prevents the risk of water entering the air cleaner, a common cause of engine damage in wet conditions.

Constructed from tough, UV-stable cross-linked polyethylene, the snorkel withstands the rigours of Australia’s harsh sun and the harshest terrains worldwide. Its increased airflow design ensures your Toyota’s 4.2L Diesel engine receives a generous supply of cool, clean air, optimising combustion and improving power and torque where it counts.

Every Safari snorkel unit includes a thorough fitting guide and a detailed installation template, boosting confidence during fitting and ensuring a sealed, accurate installation for long-term performance.
