About this part
A snorkel moves the engine's air intake up to roof height, where the air is cooler, cleaner and well above any water you cross. On the coast it also keeps salt spray and beach sand away from the airbox. Safari makes the V-Spec in UV-stabilised polyethylene and the Armax in heavier steel.
The TF BT-50 shares its chassis with the D-Max but has its own front panels, so bars are made specifically for the Mazda.
Fitting in Miami
The guard has to be cut to a template, so this is a workshop job. Fitting takes a few hours. We seal every joint and check the intake is airtight before the vehicle leaves.
What we check before ordering
- Engine code, since snorkels are matched to the intake
- Model year and any facelift changes
- V-Spec or Armax, depending on how hard you drive
- Air filter condition while the airbox is open

Questions
Does SS178HF fit my Mazda BT-50?
SS178HF is listed for the Mazda BT-50 TF, MY21 on. The TF BT-50 shares its chassis with the D-Max but has its own front panels, so bars are made specifically for the Mazda.
Does a snorkel let me drive through deep water?
It raises the air intake, but your wading depth still depends on the vehicle, its electrics and its breathers. Check the owner's manual and walk any crossing first.
Does it help on the beach?
Yes. It draws air from above the spray and sand that a bonnet-level intake picks up on Stradbroke, Moreton and Bribie.
V-Spec or Armax?
V-Spec suits most drivers. Armax is tougher and suits heavy bush and outback use.
