So I got a spoon snorkel and didn't have a rad plate to fit it. I already threw out the oem RAD deflector plate thing so I had to do something.

Here is what I came up with:


and after the sharpie


Time for a test fit


Then I began with some hedge shears and ended up with this


90% finished product with the shears I used


I'm still going to get a torch and make the edges of my cuts blue and smooth them out a bit. But until I return from vacation, this is how it sits.


Yea, it took some balls to chop up an arc rad plate... but it's only a rad plate

Hope you like.
I will be updating thread with final installed pictures when I return

You should put some sort of rubber around the edges to protect that snorkel.

Cut the rubber hose along the length and feed it onto the edge of the cutout....and you should be golden

Do you feel any gains with the snorkel????

Looks good

Thanks for comments/tips everyone.

Gains are most noticeable with the snorkel once your up to speed. On the highway I don't need to downshift to 5th anymore to feel power. There is way more pull in 6th gear at around 120 130 KM's per hour.

The rubber hose idea is a great one. I'll have more time to mess with this once I get back.

To tell you the truth, I was suprised that those clipper things cut "titanium"

Ouch....

I'd sell the ARC, and buy the appropriate cooling plate that would fit the Spoon snorkel.

So I could be like everyone else?

with that attitude, why did you get the spoon snorkel in the first place "like everyone else"

instead of making your own?
