plus its not butt ugly like all the other home brew snorkels.

Erics xj has a nice write up including part numbers for a cowl snorkel. It works very well. I have it on mine.

$120 with free shipping to the US, from a Chinese user here on CF. I honestly wouldn't even consider doing a homebrew one. Snorkels are one of those things that just look ridiculous when done wrong.
