It'll fit. Who ever installs it will simply have to use an adapter to go between the 2.25" and 3".

Cheapest way to acquire a dual snorkle setup is to find one in a junkyard or make one yourself (check the archives on this). Buying a brand new one can cost $$$. Consider doing the open air element modification....many people would agree it is much better.

I agree with the open element method. Not only is there a sound improvment and slight performance improvment, but it frees up a lot of space under the hood, from those snorkels.

I would have to agree as well on the open element idea. If u really want it though find one in a junkyard or here on the net if u can. But if u can't, don't go and pay the butt load from the dealership cause it ain't worth the money.
