Intake Ram Snorkel Kit for 1999-2004 Land Rover Discovery 2

Protect Your Investment, Expand Your Capability

Picture yourself approaching a river crossing that would make most SUVs turn back—the kind of obstacle that separates genuine off-roaders from mall crawlers. With your snorkel mounted high on the A-pillar, you press forward confidently, knowing your engine is drawing clean air from above the waterline instead of gulping muddy water that could destroy your V8 in seconds. This isn't just about looking the part—it's about dramatically expanding what's possible in your Discovery while protecting one of the most expensive components of your vehicle.

By relocating your air intake to an elevated position on the driver's side, this snorkel dramatically reduces the risk of catastrophic hydro-lock during water crossings. It also pulls in cooler, cleaner air that's free from the dust and debris kicked up at bumper level—resulting in improved combustion efficiency, better engine protection, and performance benefits that compound over years of adventurous driving.

Built for Land Rover's Legendary Durability

Your Discovery 2 was engineered to withstand the punishment of African safaris, Australian outback expeditions, and everything in between. This snorkel matches that capability with UV-resistant ABS plastic construction that withstands the harshest conditions nature can deliver. Whether you're battling scorching desert heat, freezing mountain temperatures, corrosive salt spray on coastal trails, or intense UV radiation at high altitude, the durable matte black finish maintains its structural integrity and appearance season after season.

The engineered design follows the natural contours of your Discovery's iconic body lines, creating an integrated appearance that looks purposeful and expedition-ready—exactly what a proper Land Rover should project. This isn't an afterthought bolted to your fender; it's a purposeful upgrade that announces your Discovery is built for serious adventure.

Performance and Protection Combined

• Enhanced Engine Protection: Safeguard your 4.0L or 4.6L V8 from water ingestion during deep crossings and stream fording—preventing catastrophic hydro-lock damage that could total your engine.
• Increased Water Fording Depth: Confidently navigate water obstacles that would sideline stock vehicles, dramatically expanding your trail options and expedition capabilities.
• Cleaner Air Intake: Draw air from above dust clouds, mud spray, and trail debris—reducing filter contamination and extending service intervals even in harsh conditions.
• Improved Airflow: Cooler, denser air from the elevated intake position supports better combustion efficiency, especially beneficial during demanding off-road situations.
• UV-Resistant Construction: Premium ABS plastic withstands years of exposure to sun, rain, salt, and temperature extremes without cracking, fading, or becoming brittle.
• Expedition-Ready Appearance: The purposeful look announces your Discovery is a serious off-road machine, not a grocery-getter pretending to be capable.
• Driver-Side Mounting: Left-side placement integrates seamlessly with Discovery 2 body lines and provides optimal positioning for both function and aesthetics.

The Difference You'll Experience Off-Road

Whether you're exploring remote overlanding routes, navigating technical rock crawling trails, crossing streams during hunting expeditions, or simply building the ultimate adventure vehicle, this snorkel transforms your Discovery from capable to unstoppable. You'll tackle water crossings with confidence, knowing your engine is protected from the hydro-lock that destroys engines and ruins expeditions.

You'll spend less time cleaning air filters after dusty trails, as your intake draws from clean air above the dust cloud your wheels kick up. And you'll join the ranks of serious Land Rover enthusiasts who understand that proper preparation—including snorkel installation—prevents expensive repairs and catastrophic failures miles from civilization.

Engineered for Discovery 2's Unique Requirements

Designed specifically for the Discovery 2 platform's body configuration and engine bay layout, this snorkel fits both 4.0L and 4.6L V8 models perfectly. The precision-molded design accounts for body lines, door clearances, and mounting points specific to the 1999-2004 Discovery 2—no universal "one-size-fits-none" compromises that plague cheaper alternatives.

The snorkel integrates with your existing air intake system, drawing air from the elevated position and feeding it to your engine through properly-sized ducting that maintains optimal flow characteristics. This isn't just a cosmetic add-on—it's a functional upgrade that genuinely protects and enhances your Discovery's capability.

Installation Considerations

This snorkel mounts to the driver's side (left) of your Discovery and requires minor drilling and cutting for secure, weatherproof installation. This is a straightforward modification for anyone comfortable with basic vehicle customization and power tools, though professional installation is recommended for owners who want guaranteed fitment and proper sealing.
