| They look like about halfway but it's only 2 in. PVC so I could buy some more PVC and go as high as I want. I built my first set of snorkels for a kawasaki prairie 650. was told that nobody offered a kit for it because it restricted airflow too much. I used 2 in. pvc and after a lot of experiments I got it to work. This is the first time buying a kit so I was kinda expecting something a little bit more factory looking. But at least it comes with instructions so maybe less experiments | |

| Have not made up my mind yet how high I'm taking mine yet. will decide after I installThanks for the offer to help out because this can be modified at anytime. I've read where some people have complained of noise so I may want to here it at several hights before I finally decide how high I want it but to the roof sounds good to me.Thanks for the offer to help out I may take you up on the offer. As for needing a snorkel for myself if I go that deep, it's amazing and I don't know why but the more bud light the less air I need for myself | |

| Quick update. I've almost finished with the install. It was fairly easy, except for thing make sure you read the instructions carefully about the belt exhaust snorkel. It calls for 2-2 in. 90 and 1-2in 45. These 3 parts look alike and it tells you to install in this order. Well I did not pay attention and install a 90 then the 45 and then the 90. Did not catch this untill I tried to install the engine cover behind the seats and the cover would not go on because it was hitting the exhaust duct. Went to Lowes and got some more PVC and back in business. Also added a little more hight on the air intake below the bed and allowed a better connection above the bed. The bed removal video on this site was very helpful also. I'll complete today along with 2nd battery and more lights then I'll try to post pictures | |

Glad it is working out for you. Good thing about PVC, you can always go back to Lowes and get a replacement fitting or pipe if needed. | |

| A little dark, but it looks good, I can see that you have added a lttle lenght to some of the risers or is that how the kit comes? | |

| The only length I added was about an inch on the air intake below the bed and about 2 in. on the belt exhuast below the bed. The length that came in the kit had only about 1/2 in above the bed and I wanted a little more to make sure the clamps would hold. I added the length to the belt exhuast in the center by pure accident but I liked the looks so much I decided to keep it that way. Also had to purchase additional tubing for the front diff. vent line | |
