Looks awesome! How was the fender off- part of the install? Got delayed in getting mine on, but sometime in the coming week or so. I’ll be installing.

Sorry to hear on the airbox fitting!! That was one of my concerns as well, but lucked out at LAX terminal, different shift boss.

Pulling the passenger side front fender guard is required to fit the crossover pipe. GrenX also notes this on their website:

Front fender guard must be removed for fitment of replacement inner guard crossover pipe.

I installed the GrenX OEM style snorkel recently and took some pictures of the process to/

1. Help others considering this
2. Document the process
3. Show the factory raised intake

I’ve attached pictures to capture where the fender attachment points are and the process of removing the factory raised intake.

You can also see what the GrenX setup looks like once installed.

I am still waiting for my Diesel airbox to arrive as it is being powder-coated at the moment.

So far, I can report that the intake noise is pretty much the same (with OEM airbox).

The snorkel mounting is very...

Is there a cheap option in Europe availbile? don't want to spend 7K + on it.

Sometime in the future somebody might invest to produce a rotational mould to produce something like this LR part (which is less than €100). I guess the challenge being that the demand may not justify the investment.

about 10k with install and shipping to europe for the GrenX is way to much.
1 to 2k with install I would pay but 10K not @GrenX
Addtionally I don't know how good the @GrenX performance in Ice and snow, with the intake, if a huge chunk of snow is sucked in, while driving in dense forest and thus pushing branches away which are covered in snow...

The D&G option is probably not sealed, but if it meets your needs go for it.

The description does not say it is sealed. So, you would need to make an inquiry to find out.

Do you have a link to this product?

I had this same concern with water ( rain / ice / snow ) - The sealed airbox has a ball valved drain plug ( I’ll post photos when I get that component installed ) which should be kept open for normal driving.

NON-SEALED SNORKELS/RAISED AIR INTAKE
D&G Europe
D&G has a Hi Flow Stainless Steel Snorkel for the IG and QM. Note: the description does not say it is sealed and no mention of a sealed airbox.

The opening of the snorkel faces upwards.

my conceren ist that the factory RIA inlet is designed in a way that stuff falls down outside and the @GrenX just has a mesh..

This doesn’t matter since the sealed airbox will drain as long as the ball valve is left open. That valve is only closed as a preliminary step before performing a stream crossing.

Thats for water, all other stuff from trees will fall in as well...

The GrenX OEM style has a filter coming for the top, plus you can already use a UNIfilter sock on the INEOS RAI or the GrenX OEM style snorkel.
