Surely you just use the existing air pipe that was connected to your original air intake that you had to remove?

have you read the instructions?
Yes, no mention of fitting to the air box, only fitting the plate to the wing, flexitube to the main tube then to the mushroom

you use a sealant gun and gasket to waterproof the join on the outside and then sealent gun again on the inside. you then use sealant on all the rest of the pipework joins too.

but shirley there was an existing pipe from airbox to grill in wing
that's just how they are. just run a longer hose and push it up the snorkel.

so your thread title is wrong. Surely it should be summit like.... 'what part of my air intake am I missing as I cannot connect up the snorkel kit that I bought without putting it back to standard first?'

The first picky is to give you an idea but note the difference in pipe fitting between earlier round and later square fittings. The earlier one may well be better for you for fitting to the round pipe you already have.

Ha ha, yes you are missing a part, but it isnt a part that belongs to the snorkel. As ratty says its a standard part of the Defender air intake. Im guessing either you or the previous owner threw it away when fitting the Safari snorkel?
