Many thanks for your informative video. I'd be very grateful for your opinion on a cool air intake modification I'm thinking of making. I have a Hilux SW4 diesel 2008. The air filter is like a drum on the right and it receives air from under the wheel arch, which, even if the ill-fitting plastic liner with its fragile fasteners provided reasonable protection from dirt and rain thrown up by the wheel, I'd like to shift the air intake to inside the engine bay at the coolest, most protected spot. My idea is to block the orginal entry tube and fit another of the same diameter either forward to just behind the headlamp or at the right back corner of the engine compartment. Can you tell me which would be the cooler position and least likely to suck in dust and rain. Incidentally, I'm againt schnorkels for varios reasons, although they do look "sexy". I'd be extremely grateful for your expert advice on this project.

Honestly I was hesitant until I discovered the Sy-Klone precleaner. It makes a world of difference. As far as moving it. I’m a little more hesitant. Really nothing in the engine bay will provide cool air or enough air. Going behind the headlight means you’re more likely to ingest water and dust. You need to get the air from outside the bay all together.

Many thanks for your advice. By all accounts, the sporty filters withot an airbox must suck in only hot air as often they're located right on top of the engine. Most You|Tubers condemn them. It seems the only solution is a snorkel with a bell-shaped pre--filter head, which can receive air from any direction and provides good protection from water.
